Just a quick note to let you know how much we as a school appreciated the workshops and author talk last week. The students got so much from the opportunity, and were so excited by having met you.

We had a lovely Literature Event yesterday. Barry Jonsberg was fantastic, all the sessions went smoothly and we have had great feedback from the staff and students. Barry’s sessions had the students laughing and applauding throughout. We are now thinking about next year and would love to have Barry back. We had a great time, thanks so much.

The classroom teachers who sat in on Andy's sessions had nothing but positive things to say about his performance. He was engaging and great with the students. I would definitely recommend him for other schools.

It was wonderful to see students come alive through imagination and storytelling, and the buzz continued long after her [...]

Sophie was brilliant, informative, tailored to meet what the kids were doing, exploring in class. The writers workshop was also great, kids got a lot out of it and are enthusiastic to write and have their work shared with others. Really enjoyable.

Insightful, professional and pleasant for jarjum. Very welcoming and easy to work with, and a great experience for all involved.

'We always receive positive reviews from participants after Julie's training sessions. She is consistently organised, well-presented, professional, and engaging.

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