We had a lovely Literature Event yesterday. Barry Jonsberg was fantastic, all the sessions went smoothly and we have had great feedback from the staff and students. Barry’s sessions had the students laughing and applauding throughout. We are now thinking about next year and would love to have Barry back. We had a great time, thanks so much.

Amazing! Sophie was fantastic and so great online for our digital events. High energy and great with children of diverse ages.

Vacen was prepared, professional and it was a pleasure hosting her here at Our Lady of Mt Carmel.

Today went really well; David was great - the kids learnt a lot.

It was fascinating to see the journey from an initial idea to a published an [...]

Lian was very engaging and had a variety of different aspects in her presentation. The students learnt a lot about the process of writing a picture book and particularly enjoyed building a story together.

The Narrative Workshops in Year 3/4 conducted by Chrissy Byers were extremely rewarding for students. They were well run and made efficient use of time. The visual prompts used were engaging and made it possible for the students to clearly structure a narrative into beginning, middle and end. To make the writing more interesting and individual, Chrissy endorsed the use of a Hook Question. Most importantly, over the weeks, there was a clear improvement in the outcomes of the children's writin [...]

I can always rely on Speakers Ink to do all the behind the scenes organisation in terms of securing a speaker.

o Zewlan was a wonderful emcee for my book launch. She's a warm, engaging speaker, and manages an audience with ease. I can highly recommend her as a speaker. ~ Charlotte Barkla, Author

Students loved Edwina. She is a very engaging speaker who motivates students who are reluctant writers to focus and produce a piece of writing they were happy to share with their peers! Love her Yoga 'brain breaks'. This helped students to stay focused too!!
