What people are saying
Jan Latta’s presentation was fantastic. The children were enthralled hearing about Jan’s encounters with animals in the wild. They loved her videos as well. Jan altered her presentation to fit the various age groups she spoke with across all stages of the Primary years. Her presentations triggered some very interesting questions among the children. Her talks relate to conservation, the environment, animal habitats, to name a few curriculum topics. I thoroughly recommend Jan as a visiting author.
Lian held her audience in the palm of her hand for the entire time. She spun her stories and the girls were caught up in the imagination and creativity of Lian's storytelling and taken to an exciting and adventurous place of their own designing. The teachers were all very impressed with the visit, and many stayed to listen as they too were spellbound by Lian's stories. The Year 3 girls who had not read any of Lian's books (and are now queuing up to start "The Rogues") enjoyed the session and lea [...]
“Nikki was engaging and informative. Weaving the skills of writing together with her own experiences and the wonder of storytelling to keep even the most reluctant reader or writer enthralled!”
Simon was great . He manipulated his presentations to the age level and composition of the audience and handled both the 130 students presentation and the 50 students equally well. Would definitely get Simon back next year again if he’s available.
Pat spoke to three Year levels - 7, 8 and 9. All were engaging and fun. We would like Pat to return next year to give workshops to smaller groups.
Richard was very generous with his time and his interaction with the students at our Readers Cup Regional final. His talk and question time were very entertaining and the students were totally engaged. I certainly would book him again and would recommend him to other schools.
It was engaging and informative. It was interactive for the grade 1s. It really sparked their interest in story writing. It also fitted well with our health unit on emotions.
I was impressed with your attention to detail, efficiency and preparedness to help us out at short notice.
Zewlan is an integral part of the kid-lit community in Brisbane, so I was delighted when she agreed to host the launch of my picture book, One Book Was All It Took, at Where The Wild Things Are Bookshop. Her hosting skills were exceptional, as she presented the event with professionalism and warmth. Zewlan's genuine love for children's books was evident throughout, adding an extra sparkle to the occasion. The event flowed smoothly, and everyone had a wonderful time. All in all, a truly memorable [...]
An engaging speaker and the feedback from staff and students was very positive. We would book Aleesah again and recommend her to others.
On behalf of Graceville SS and the Year 5 cohort I just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful writing workshop on Friday. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Your delivery of information and ideas really helped the children understand the importance of authorship and creative writing. The students also gained a lot of insight in to how they themselves could become effective writers. By giving them the opportunity to put pen to paper, the workshop was so successful, an [...]
As part of our Imaginative Writing unit, we interviewed Australian children’s author, Jess Galatola about her relevant and timely children’s book, ‘Some Families Change’. This book was a wonderful read and a totally engaging juncture for our students as it brought the curriculum to life. Jess provided so many purposeful and practical strategies to our young and aspiring writers.
I just wanted to thank you on behalf of Ormiston College. Our guest visitors certainly enjoyed your presentation and as one person said on leaving “From now on I will be looking for his cartoon before I even read the front page.” Thank you again for being a part of our 25th Anniversary Literary Lunch.
