What does this class offer?

A properly curated portfolio is how you land the high-profile jobs you’ve been aiming for. If you are looking for personalize help, add a portfolio review after the class! This is an on demand class that shows you how to review your work, curate your own portfolio, and offers the addition of a 45 minute review of your work.

  • Hours of Portfolio Reviews & Videos

    Gain access to hours of video content where agents review portfolios across various markets: Non Fiction, Board Books, Picture Books, Middle Grade, Greeting Cards, Licensing, and Editorial work!

  • Extra Content

    This course is packed with practical advice to help you promote your work in the best light. There are videos focusing on Folio Dos and Don'ts & How to Be Your Own Art Director. You’ll learn how to capture the attention of art directors, showcase your skills effectively, and choose what to show and what not to show in your folio.

  • Add a Personalized Review

    Select the Course + Portfolio Review option to get both the on demand course AND a 1-1 video call with an industry professional to review your current portfolio. This is a great way to make sure your portfolio is going in the correct direction and answer any questions you may have as to why your work is not getting the jobs or agencies you are interested in.
