Josie was very well received for her generous and genuine talk about what it is to be a writer and how to get started. The students, teachers and parents from the Fascinate writing program really responded to Josie's talk

Cath’s passion for writing is so infectious – certainly some of the best feedback we’ve had on a speaker.

Lisa’s presentation was highly engaging, entertaining and informative. A fun and dynamic speaker great at plugging into kid’s imaginations.

Sandie is the best! She's super efficient and friendly.

We were fortunate to have Gwyneth and Megan present to our students here at All Saints as part of our biannual Livewire Festival this year. The ladies presented information about their books The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse, in particular the Queensland story. Their presentations were engaging and interesting. They really inspired students to reflect and write about their own travels. This impact continued throughout the semester. We would certainly welcome them back to our school.

Nadia's presentation was very entertaining with lots of different variety for our young audience. She more than met our expectations.

Leigh was incredibly well organised and extremely engaging for our entire school. He managed to run 3 sessions that were interactive and inspiring for all 900 of our students.

It was so lovely having you here. The girls really loved it and you had a wonderful disarming way with them. Thank you so much.

Justin was prepared for the visit and well equipped for the presentations. He spoke with enthusiasm, charisma and ease and frequently used his books as examples. He told us about his life before he became a writer, how it is like being a writer and what he plans to write in the future. All students were engaged with his presentation and where all eager to ask him questions. Justin D’ath is a great advocate for literacy, whether it be getting students interested in books, or inspiring child [...]

Rochelle is the perennially most-requested speaker at our annual Showcase for authors and aspiring writers. She brings a friendly tone, lively interaction and a wealth of valuable information to all sessions, whether as a stand-alone presenter or as part of a panel.

Tannya was generous with her time and flexible with her presentation. The children were engaged throughout the sessions and came away with a successful drawing. She used kid friendly language, her drawing instruction was simple and appropriately step by step, very interactive, her displays were great and she coped well with the vagaries of technology. She has a different illustrative style to most others which provides breadth of experience for our children. Sydney school, 2024

Lucia was one of the absolutely superlative presenters at our literature carnival this year. As a group, they expanded the students munitions of creativity and were very well received by all staff. Their presentations were highly engaging as they were diverse. Students had a full immersion into the world of the writer, storyteller and illustrator. I personally wish to express my gratitude to their unbounding energy and galvanising a week of learning and fun into the minds of our students and tea [...]
