Thank you so very much for your time today. I've already received over 20 emails from parents and students expressing their thanks and appreciation. The students and staff really loved meeting you, getting to know more about the book writing and illustrating processes and seeing some of your magnificent pieces of art. They are already asking if we can have you back next week!! Again, thank you so very much for all that you brought today. It was truly a memorable experience, one which we will a [...]

Nadia was a pleasure to work with. Her preparation prior to the Festival ensured that the guest authors were well versed in what they would discuss and the format of their sessions. She created a warm and welcoming ambience on stage and involved all the participants equally. She was a calm and reassuring presence for our novice presenters and they all had a very positive experience thanks to her assistance. Nadia has a professional and engaging manner and creates a great rapport with all those s [...]

We had absolutely no issues dealing with Speakers Ink - very easy to deal with and arrangements were well organised. Yes, we would certainly deal with Speakers Ink again... ...Yes, expectations were very much met!

Candice's presentation for our middle school children was very well received and the group selected for the writing workshop were excited and productive.

We really enjoyed having Tristan visit us and work with the students during our Writers Camp. Tristan really engaged the students and give them plenty of inspiration as well as giving them practical advice that they could apply to their writing. He exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Tristan to other schools. He also took the time to find out what our needs were for our group of students and tailored his presentations to suit our requirements.

Irena's presentation was wonderful and more than met my expectations. She was also incredibly patient with me as we muddled through with the tech side of digital author visits and conscientious about following up. I would recommend her to any library service and hope we have the opportunity to work together again at some point.

Extremely relevant, engaging, useful resources and so many takeaway ideas for me to utilise straight away.

Kim has just left our school and she is truly a gifted artist, author and speaker. I have not enjoyed an author visit so much. Her energy and obvious love she has for her work is infectious and the Year 2 children were captivated. The year 7 students who helped move her equipment were enthralled by her and her work and Kim is so open with children they would have kept her talking all day if I hadn’t shooed them back to class. We would like to book Kim to visit again in August if possibl [...]

Mary, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. The students had a great time and the teachers were impressed with the delivery.

Gregg had a wealth of knowledge to share. We would love to have him again however next time we would likely book him for an in person session as he is a very interactive presenter. Gregg provided attendees with a plethora of resources and ideas for the classroom!

The workshop was engaging and the boys were immediately hands-on.

Karen was amazing with the children. She got them to open up and think about things in a different way.
