The Creative Independent

The Creative Independent interviews working artists, writers, and musicians about the unglamorous mechanics of actually getting work done: routines, money, doubt, and the decisions that don't make it into artist statements. It treats process as the real subject, not just output.

Long-form interviews let creative people explain their approach in their own words, often revealing how uncertain and improvised a working creative life actually is behind the polished result. Aimed at practicing artists looking for permission and practical insight, not just inspiration.
