What people are saying
Once again Speakers Ink provided a wonderful service. You are my first point of call for organising speakers when I need to. Speakers Ink does a great job and your costs are very reasonable given what is delivered. I do look forward to working with you again.
“Very engaging and animating. Gaye’s passion is wonderful – a terrific raconteur. Highly interactive, engaging and effective. Brilliant. Well prepared – an experience!”
Mark was a very well prepared speaker, arriving in plenty of time to set up his space, ready to receive the students. Having art work around as well as music gave the session a real switch around from serious looking into his books to some light hearted singing. His presentation style suited the year 2’s perfectly – he was on their wavelength. And the classroom teachers who attended said they will use Marks’ stories as examples as they learn more about writing narratives. Woul [...]
Thank you so much for visiting Nudgee College yesterday and speaking with our Writers’ Circle boys. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. The boys – particularly the Years 5-7s – absolutely raved about your presentation. Thank you again.
What an absolute ripper of a time we had with Phil...he was fantastic with the kids and all the teachers loved his presentation. He had the children enthralled, there were no behaviour problems as soon as the children got a bit loud, boisterous or over enthusiastic he calmed them down and got them back ontrack. His teaching background helps a lot in this respect and he had a good rapport with them and got them involved too. Phil is a great person to get along with, the staff here enjoyed his com [...]
Allison is a highly personable guest speaker. She brought enthusiasm, experience and expertise to her presentations as part of our Book Week celebrations. Our Stage 3 students responded well and took away loads of practical advice to apply to their own writing. One of our teachers commented post session, “Allison would be great to get back again; especially for a provocation to a writing unit. So many great ideas!” It was a delight meeting Allison and learning more about her craft and her active [...]
Not only does Dave provide the students with strategies for their writing, but also supports Teachers with different ways to teach and help students to plan for their task. His presentation was engaging and he involved the students.
Pamela's visit was very well received by our girls. The PowerPoint presentations and worksheets she used to accompany her workshops with our year 8 and 10 girls were engaging and useful for the girls when thinking about how to successfully structure a story. I would thoroughly recommend Pamela for an author visit to other schools, particularly all girls' schools as many of her novels deal with females as the main protagonists.
J A Henderson visited our school as part of a scheme to enthuse reluctant boy readers in lower school; he certainly did that! The boys were mesmerised by his stories. They talked about his visit for weeks afterwards! Really good, interesting and the funniest day of my life! Your adventures have made me want to be an author!
If you're looking for a writer to visit your school or run a writers' camp, Melaina Faranda is an absolute stand-out. Melaina is not only a gifted writer and communicator, but she is also enormous fun! Our students (and staff) adored her, with her exciting writing ideas, wonderful stories and zest for life. I thoroughly enjoyed "the Melaina experience". She has my very, very highest recommendation.
