#BYOP: Be Your Own Producer: Leveraging Loss and Grief as Fuel for Productivity

Written by Broadway actress and award-winning indie film and music producer Ashley Kate Adams, #BYOP: Grief and Productivity for the Artist guides artists through loss, creative transformation, and healing. In her second book, Adams shares that through grief, artists might find themselves more awake and creating more authentically than ever before. In this memoir-fueled, how-to guide filled with personal stories of loss and transformation, both in the entertainment industry and in her own life, she seeks to assist creatives through the most challenging times of their lives by focusing on the duality of creativity. Through interviews, poems, and lyrics, she also celebrates the productivity of artistry when people dare to create through their sorrow and pain. Adams believes that grief allows the opportunity for true realignment and gives artists the understanding to live more boldly than ever before.
