London, UK – [June, 2025] Writer Krish Pinto will publish his debut memoir, Becoming a Creative: Making It in London’s Movie Business, a candid and honest examination of what it is like to build a career in one of the world’s most demanding creative industries.
A Bombay boy brought up in the city and now living in London, Pinto chronicles with colour a journey from a would-be writer without industry connections to a published writer finding his place within the UK’s artistic universe. Narrated with wit and urgency, his story is an insider’s picture of the world of creatives range through hours of unpaid toil to hours of epiphany and individual grit.
Becoming a Creative is not just a memoir; it’s a testament to determination in an ever-evolving field. With chapters detailing the harsh realities of establishing a career in the arts without the support of institutions or financial security, Pinto’s book offers both insight and connectivity for aspiring creatives of all sorts.
“Folks don’t understand that this book is not a guidebook, but it’s a guidepost for individuals attempting to create room in a world that sometimes will feel shut down,” Pinto says.
Based on both lived experience and wide-ranging research, Pinto tackles wider issues for new creatives now from financial instability and changing technologies to the strains of visibility in a hyper competitive culture. All these challenges are based on the realities of today’s UK creative industries, through incisive observations that are up-to-date, intimate, and profoundly reflective.
