We love to create but hate to publish.
Making something new is all experimentation and possibility and exploration. Super yes to every step of that.
Publishing means promoting which means venturing into the market to show our wares. An entirely different experience.
We all release work with hopes that other people will like and even want to purchase it. That generally does not happen without some push from us, which comes more naturally to some than others.
How do we do this?
Come together with Yancey Strickler, author and cofounder of Metalabel and Kickstarter, and your fellow creators to explore promotional principles for everyone — including people who hate promotion.

Metalabel
A new space to co-release and collect creative work.
Our tools are inspired by the way indie record labels and other creative groups throughout history established scenes, aesthetics, and new ideas by releasing work together.
Metalabel takes that model and applies it to all forms of creative work to allow creative people to share economics, audiences, and to co-release work together.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
