Darren Groth
The Grade 9 students greatly enjoyed Darren’s book talk; they were engaged and really enjoyed that he was funny. They were spellbound. Also, his leaving a lot of time for questions about writing and inspiration was excellent.

The Spotlight is on BOOK WEEK!
|
|
 
Escape to Everywhere is the theme for this year's CBCA Book Week, celebrated across the country in August of each year. Book Week is the busiest time of the year for Speakers Ink as writers, illustrators, poets and performance artists connect with readers in schools and libraries around the nation. This year, the theme is beautifully supported by Freya Blackwood's amazing artwork. The theme as well as the shortlisted books are inspiring students and teachers alike in their learning, love of reading, and love of great literature.
It is not too late to book a speaker to enhance your celebration of Book Week, as many other schools, libraries and groups have done over the years. There are many testimonials on our speakers pages to assist you with making a choice of speaker.
But wait, there's more - we also have speakers who are available for a 'virtual visit' using Skype, or check the list above for our touring speakers.
Congratulations to...
What's On
Yours in promoting literacy from all at the Speakers Ink team,
Sandie, Helen, Margie, Anna, Jan, Rob and James
