David has a great ability to connect with students and keep them motivated. His use of music to inspire writing is so good and the students loved it! Some classes that had a large number of reluctant writers ALL came out with a story at the end of his workshop. That is amazing!

Phillip engaged the students with his humour and personal perspectives on writing. The olfactory imagery activity was fruitful and he provided incisive and constructive feedback on student pieces., heightening their awareness of the writing process. He spoke purposefully about creating characters with ambition and motivation.

We were thrilled to welcome Ady and Adam, authors of Luna Roo, to Randwick Public School today to read to our Kindergarten students. Their engaging storytelling and professional presentation had students truly captivated and joining in with enthusiasm. Thank you for planning such an interactive, creative and visually memorable reading event. It was just delightful!

This entire week has been an outstanding success. Thanks to Anne, who has been instrumental in the delivery of the workshops. There was this incredible energy throughout the school and all these wonderful people helped create the oeuvre of joy and creativity in the kids. We were all touched by their presence and skill and collectively, as a community, we felt honour and privilege. All the feedback has been incredibly positive from children, staff and parents. Anne has been an excellent ambassado [...]

I wanted to let you know about the success of the Writers’ block event, at Robina branch library and auditorium last Saturday. It was such a good day and the feedback we received on the speakers was overwhelmingly positive. Venero was very engaging, great to work with, and pitched his presentation perfectly for the event. He made it so easy for City Libraries to look good. Thanks for your assistance in finding excellent speakers to make this event so successful.

Jess Black is an excellent presenter. Staff and students immensely enjoyed her writing workshops.

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 [...]

Sarah was insightful and inclusive with participants and created a safe atmosphere for people to be revealing about their memoirs. I would have loved this workshop to go for two days or at least one! It gave me ideas and I loved the chance to do some writing. It was interesting to hear the memoir ideas from other people and to connect with them, even if very briefly.

Benjamin Gilmour is a very engaging speaker with a wealth of personal experience and wonderful anecdotes. Given the breadth of his creativity in writing as well as film, no student leaves his talks without being touched in some way.

I am always impressed with the prompt service whenever I ask for recommendations for authors to come to our school. I have used this agency for many years and am very happy with the professionalism displayed.

...Kirsty Eagar was great. The girls, especially in year 11, really enjoyed listening to her. I would definitely recommend her as an inspirational speaker especially for students year 10 and above.

I invited Angie to speak at an event at the School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Queensland (15-16 August, 2025). Angie gave a beautiful presentation and book reading; the audience included undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, professional translators, and members of the general public, and this wide-ranging audience was both moved and inspired by her presentation. Angie’s joyful cross-cultural approach was perfectly suited to the event, and she also provided a live [...]
