"The introductory class has built a strong foundation that I feel will set me up for success in the classes later on. The class is a low-pressure and supportive environment that gives you a chance to experiment and see if advertising work is something that you'd be excited to pursue."

H. King
Introductory '25

"The Intro class provided the foundation and collaborative experience I need without requiring me to drop everything and commit to an expensive, full-time portfolio program. If you're considering a career as a Copywriter or Art Director but didn't go to school for it, I highly recommend taking classes at The Book Shop."

S. Hall
Introductory '25

"The Intermediate class has given me the tools, information and guidance to create my own campaigns from start to finish. If you want to understand all the ins and outs of advertising, hone your craft and put some serious work into your portfolio, enroll in The Book Shop. You won't regret it!"

G. Hulander
Intermediate '25

"Advanced One has helped me to understanding the skills it takes to move from ideation to execution and has open my eyes wide to what it takes to build my portfolio. This class will give you the insight needed to do so, and I believe I have gained a lot in moving forward on my work!"

J. Benson
Advanced One '25

"Taking The Book Shop Advanced Two class has further helped me towards my goal of becoming an Art Director and hopefully a Creative Director one day by giving me the fundamentals of advertising and learning the components of a 360 campaign. The Book Shop is a unique school that teaches you the fundamentals of advertising without having to go back to a 4 year school."

B. Mohr
Advanced Two '25

"I come out of each semester with a better understanding of creative thinking and advertising. I went into this blindly, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Didn't know anything about advertising nor that Copywriting was even a career. I jumped and discovered a new passion in life. If you're curious, even slightly, take a chance. Teams was great."

J. Rogers
Teams '25

"I have a degree in advertising from Boston University, and I falsely believed I was equipped to jump into the workforce. I had a book ready, which I now realize was not nearly fleshed out enough. After taking Book Shop, I realize that this was a necessary detour for me to eventually start a fulfilling career."

A. Sharon
Teams '25

"In the Copy class, I've learned so much about how to write for the specific types of copy based work I'll have to do in my career. This class helped me enhance so much of my portfolio as well as my website and the instructor is just an incredible writer and teacher."

P. Crawford
Copy '25

"In this Digital 6-week class, I thought the assignments were creative and allowed for thinking about ads in new ways. I felt more room to try out of the box stuff. I think this class really pushed my ads closer to making the portfolio cut. Just the practice of taking ideas so much further was beneficial. Take this class when offered. The teacher is continually invested in students and inspires them to push their creative potential."

J. Speers
LA Digital Creative '23

"I am able to approach the creative with full intention. Before Layout class, I was just going off what I thought looked good or made the most sense for the campaign, but the Instructor's guidance has allowed me to think deeply about why elements from color, image, typography, and so on, need to make sense together to get the full meaning across. Learning and growing with Book Shop is the way to go."
