Ten years after its initial publication, the message of 'Steal Like an Artist' remains powerful: embrace influence, follow interests wherever they take us, forget old clichés like writing about what you know - instead, write the book that you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And above all, find the space you need to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work. This 10th anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author, discussing the book's influence and how 'stealing' has been misunderstood, and offering a unique, personal perspective on a book that's touched so many.
