Outstanding! So interesting to see a master of their craft working with students and to teach me a few tricks too! I thought both sessions were brilliant! Great use of time and engaging for all students. I thought Aleesah provided excellent workshops for our students. She was extremely well- organised and certainly worked very hard for the five days we had her with us.

My Kindergarten children love to meet all different people in all different jobs and roles, so they were beyond excited to have a real life author coming to Kindy to share their book. Jess had such a wonderful presence with the group and was so engaging with each and every child. The activities she had planned were perfect for our age group and resulted in a lot of laughter and squeals of fun! The children were so proud to share their work and the illustrations they created, and some have even b [...]

Oh, we always love Matt - he does just what we need him to: introduce our students to a generous professional who reads and writes for a living - someone who'll show them what storytelling means in the media, and be kind in listening to their ideas and demonstrating how a pro can think them through.

Alison was amazing with the younger students. Her sessions were age appropriate, fun and interactive. She had the students up singing and dancing which they all enjoyed and provided fantastic props including dressing up herself. I would definitely recommend a visit from Alison!

Speakers Ink were helpful, prompt with any responses to questions and provided all the information necessary for the author visits.

David was excellent. He held the students' attention throughout the presentation with his warm and relaxed manner. The students were in awe of his talent as he shared his tips for drawing, as we watched his illustrations come to life. Excellent presentation.

Lian was very engaging and had a variety of different aspects in her presentation. The students learnt a lot about the process of writing a picture book and particularly enjoyed building a story together.

Jackie more than met all our expectations. She was very warmly received by the students. She was very entertaining and empowered many of them to read. The students are still talking about her visit. We would certainly recommend Jackie to visit other schools.

Yvonne is a delight to have in a school environment. She is easy to work with and has a vibrant personality. It was Yvonne's second year in a row at our school. This year, we put Yvonne in our art room, where she taught our students Sidney Nolan's painting technique. Yvonne made the students feel like successful painters for their session. All the boys now have a painting to show for their time with Yvonne.

Tamsin's intervention was of very high quality. She explained very well where her inspiration to write came from. She got the students involved. She answered their questions.

Mark was receptive to the creative writing focus areas as outlined by the students and had prepared materials to support them in this regard. Mark's presentation was engaging and he was encouraging of the students' efforts. He was also generous in the sharing of, not only his knowledge but his resources. We hope Mark is keen to work with our Creative Writing class again.
