In The Entrepreneurial Artist: Lessons from Highly Successful Creatives, Aaron Dworkin offers an engaging, practical guide to achieving artistic fulfillment, both personally and professionally. Based on the accomplishments of Shakespeare, Mozart, and several contemporary creatives, these lessons will help you realize your goals—no matter your medium. Among those Dworkin personally interviewed for this book are Emmy-winning actor Jeff Daniels, Tony-award winning choreographer Bill T. Jones, Grammy award-winning musician Wynton Marsalis, and Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, among others. The stories of these twelve remarkable individuals come alive with lessons of love, loss, despair, sacrifice, perseverance, and triumph.

Critic reviews
Aaron Dworkin has made his life his art form, and he lives it with honesty, dedication and creativity. He thinks of music as a human invention to help us understand ourselves, our environment, and others. Music was invented to serve society, and Aaron is living proof of that commitment. (Yo-Yo Ma, Grammy-award winning musician)
Aaron uses fourteen creative individuals to distill the complexities of success in ways that are both accessible and inspiring. I am grateful for this contribution to the arts sector and beyond! (Deborah Borda, President and CEO, New York Philharmonic)
Dworkin is dropping plenty of knowledge and wisdom in these pages. I recognized early in my career how critical it was for me to not wait for the phone to ring and create work for myself. The age of the artist/entrepreneur is upon us. (LeVar Burton, Actor (Star Trek: The Next Generation; Roots))
Inspiring and informative insight into the leading entrepreneurial artists who have transformed our world. A must-read for anyone interested in living a creative life! (Josh Linkner, New York Times bestselling author, Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity)
A fascinating insider’s look at the traits we share that compel us to create, full of invaluable guidance on how to turn our creative impulses into successes. (Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Grammy and Tony award-winning songwriters (La-La Land; Dear Evan Hansen))
Professor Dworkin combines the fascinating stories of acclaimed artists with constructive steps on how to turn great ideas into reality; reminding us that some of the most influential entrepreneurs are artists. (Jane Chu, Past Chair, National Endowment for the Arts)
Aaron Dworkin has a profound commitment to Humankind; and the Creative Forces that dwell within Us. That Commitment manifests dynamically and inspirationally, in this book and the work he engages; producing entrepreneurial and creative artistry, that is a gift for us all. (Delroy Lindo, Actor (The Good Fight; Get Shorty))
I’ve long known about Aaron Dworkin’s great gifts to the art world—his own creative composing and performing; his inspirational teaching; his powerful non-profit work. Perhaps his biggest legacy will be this book: a tactical guide for musicians and artists to show them that the same skills and habits that have helped them to make their art so special are also what can will help them make their way—creatively and effectively—through business world (Ari Weinzweig, author, The Art of Business)
The arts are not just a passion, they are a career. Aaron Dworkin builds a bridge between them with inspiring interviews and insights from the best of the best. It’s a must read for anyone who imagines dedicating their life to music and the arts. (Gustavo Dudamel, Music & Artistic Director, Los Angeles Philharmonic)
