The promise of 'doing what you love' continues to attract new entrants to the cultural and creative industries. Is that promise betrayed by the realities of pathways into creative work, or does a creative identification offer new personal and professional possibilities in the precarious contexts of contemporary work and employment? Two decades into the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century, aspiring creative workers undertake training and higher education courses in increasing numbers. Some attempt to convert personal enthusiasms and amateur activities into income-earning careers. To manage the uncertainties of self-employment, workers may utilise skills developed in other occupations, even developing timely new forms of collective organisation. The collection explores the experience of creative career entrants in numerous national contexts, including Australia, Belgium, China, Ireland, Italy, Finland, the Netherlands, Russia, the US andthe UK. Chapters investigate the transitions of new workers and the obstacles they encounter on creative pathways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapters 1, 12 and 15 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030382451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030382452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Stephanie Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089063555327,"sku":"9783030382452","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4ad0d33-f3d7-4acf-9304-0de84db49ae8.jpg?v=1769107996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pathways-into-creative-working-lives-stephanie-taylor-9783030382452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
