The boys loved Jo's presentation and they liked her tips for building the story particularly her travels to Finland for research.

Thanks again for a great visit to our school. The kids are still talking about it and all your books are flying off the shelves in the library!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rory H. Mather, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His insights and expertise into lyrical story writing and rhyme is amazing and the art of story and persistance is truly inspirational. Rory’s approach combines practicality with deep emotional intelligence, enabling students to unlock their potential and achieve their writing goals with a never give up approach. The strategies he offers are not only effective but also easy to implement, making a [...]

Tristan was on time, well-prepared and very engaging. He pitched his talk to Year 7s perfectly and it was a good mix of talk, video and music. Students commented very favourably afterwards and hopefully picked up some useful tips for creative writing.

Absolutely brilliant! James was entertaining, inspirational and appealed to all levels from Kindy through to Year 6 and the staff! Highly recommend James!

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

Easy to find and book speakers. Much easier than contacting authors individually as many do not answer anyway.

I'd definitely recommend Charlotte's sessions - such a great speaker and she kept the kids engaged via the online platform.

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

Both Veresdale and Woodhill schools enjoyed Martin's Visits. The children loved seeing the process that Martin engages in when illustrating and contributing their ideas. He captured their imagination and encouraged them to experiment with ideas and drawing etc. Thank you for recommending Martin for our visit this year.

I think Kat Apel may be our Book Week treasure. The boys love you! Teachers, students and parents have loved hearing you talk about your books and your family, and all the teachers have been impressed with your style and your activities.

Charlotte had the audience in the palm of her hand. Although there were four people on the panel, most of the questions were directed at her and she answered them clearly, distinctly and with aplomb. She is a tremendous speaker, an advocate for women in science and a wonderful example of everything that a scientist, and a person, should be.

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 [...]
