Katherine Battersby was our speaker and she, as always, was fabulous. She exceeded our expectations. You can't improve the experience as she's already perfect. We would definitely book her again if she was in Australia for next book week.

The session was amazing… the feedback from the kids has been super positive. Deb proved to them that IDEAS for writing are right before their eyes! She was absolutely fabulous – we are all eagerly awaiting the next book!

Isobelle was excellent. She was well prepared and engaging

Marco engaged the students, worked well with all age groups and balanced his presentations well with performance and student participation. Not only did he meet expectations, he was even better!!

Victoria Carless was the perfect fit for our senior school students during Book Week. Despite the fact that Victoria was speaking to audiences of more than 200 students, Victoria has the ability to present as if she’s speaking to each student directly. She is genuine, humble and honest as she takes students through the story of her life to showcase the trials and tribulations of being an author and playwright. Victoria ensured that her presentation had ample time for questions and her answers to [...]

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

We have had Cameron visit our school on a number of occasions and they have been a wonderful experience every time. His rapport with students is fantastic! Cameron's ability to bring out the creative side of everyone, even those of us who feel we don't have a creative bone in our bodies, has been reflected in the work of our students. Cameron inspires students to imagine, explore and believe in themselves.

Giuseppe was excellent for our Year 6 children. He came early and spoke with the teacher about the exact expectations and what the students wanted to get out of the session. He catered for this in his presentation and gave some great examples of how students could get started with drawing images. His presentation was excellent and well thought out and planned. At the conclusion, he took the time to go around and speak with each student and share some ideas and opinions on some of their drawings [...]

It was lovely to meet a generous, thoughtful person who cares about reading and the impact it has on young readers.

Kristin was our WABIAD training superhero! She managed to fit so much in to such an amazing session. It was a fantastic insight into what will actually happen on the writing day & a great way to introduce the kids to the uniqueness that WABIAD offers. She is a legend!

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.

Morsi showed a contagious commitment and was an excellent communicator. His target audiences are without doubt teenagers and adults. Having Morsi at our school was very positive and eye opening! TheDanish People’s Party got more than half the votes in the last election in this region, so there are many prejudices against people with foreign backgrounds. Morsi’s presentations became very real when we the following Wednesday was visited by a class from Ellekærskolen in Aarhus where more than 80% o [...]

Trevor Fourmile gave the students great insight into his culture. He shared stories and personal experiences. We would definitely book Trevor again. Both teachers and students enjoyed and appreciated what he had to share. The service from Speakers Ink was excellent. We will book with Speakers Ink again.
