Why read it?

1 author picked Hey Whipple, Squeeze This as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Among copywriting books, this is my favorite: funny, wise, indispensable. Sullivan—an exceptional advertising copywriter, creative director, and, recently, professor—shares his insights about navigating agency life and mastering the copywriter’s craft. He is especially good at how to be more creative and how to keep b.s. out of your ideas and copy (hence his title). A pleasure to read and re-read. He has helped me get past conventional, invisible advertising. I used his book in copywriting classes, and he helped my students find their best ideas. He’ll help you, too.

From George's list on copywriters on the rise.
