Tim Harris delighted our upper primary students and their teachers with his creative writing workshops. Tim engaged the students with his hacks for narrative writing and the teachers could not have been happier with the content. Tim modified his workshop for each year level. His books are very much in demand in our library.

The students LOVED Chris’ sessions and were completely enthralled for the full 45 minutes – even the very young students. His book talks were very popular and the students that participated in his writing workshop learned some practical writing skills. Chris was an absolute professional to work with and we would recommend him to any writing Festival looking for a presenter who wants to get younger students excited about reading.

Thank you for single-handedly bringing my 10 year old son back to reading.

Irena is a wonderful woman. At all times she was co-operative and willing to contribute her time and talent for the service of others. Her attitude and presentation were always first class. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Irena as an Artist-in Residence

Year 5 students and teachers gained so much from Michelle’s presentation. The teachers took many notes to enhance their poetry unit for next year.

Dr Sarah Pye captivated the students with her knowledge and expertise on endangered animals. Her sessions were fun and engaging and the students loved making orangutan nests for Pongo to try out in our nature play space.

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed watching the Shark researchers’ discussion yesterday. I spent a lovely hour in the virtual company of amazing young women in science. Watching Charlotte facilitate the discussion and field the questions from the audience as well as answer from the heart was the highlight of my day. I’ll keep an eye on the web for more of her sessions.

Paula’s presentation was greatly appreciated by participants, who found it very inspiring and useful.

Can I just say a big thank you for your assistance in organising such an engaging workshop for our school.

Paridhi visited our classroom last term to motivate the children's narrative writing. She demonstrated how she illustrates her story books, read one of her stories and completed some guided drawing with the students. The children were very engaged and interested in Paridhi presentation. They were wowed when she used her technology to show how her draft drawings could be turned into the finished coloured illustrations. The students also loved her story book, Maharaja’s Quest, and enjoyed findin [...]

Katherine was an entertaining speaker and our students enjoyed her presentation and workshop. I would recommend her and Speakers Ink, as both were professional, friendly, and excellent for our school.

It was really really good and I liked going through the photos. She took a really good photo and we all didn't know it was a fake! I enjoyed that she had a lot of description about how she made her three books come together. She told us about the prehistoric times and the characters. It was fun. Jo gave us tips for our writing and it was nice to know that new and different stuff.
