The day was excellent and Simon was fantastic!! I have had nothing but great feedback. Simon absolutely met, and exceeded, expectations. He was just wonderful, for our small group, he was very communicative, and so helpful when I was struggling placing students. Flexible and sooo helpful. I don’t believe there is a way to improve, as all speakers (Simon Higgins, Martin Chatterton and Tristan Bancks) were professional and brilliant. I would like to run this day again next year, and would book al [...]

Our school was extremely happy with Jenni Cargill. The children were thoroughly engaged with her storytelling. I would be happy to have her here again and to book through Speakers Ink and would recommend Jenni to other schools.

Zewlan is an integral part of the kid-lit community in Brisbane, so I was delighted when she agreed to host the launch of my picture book, One Book Was All It Took, at Where The Wild Things Are Bookshop. Her hosting skills were exceptional, as she presented the event with professionalism and warmth. Zewlan's genuine love for children's books was evident throughout, adding an extra sparkle to the occasion. The event flowed smoothly, and everyone had a wonderful time. All in all, a truly memorable [...]

Al the teachers commented on her professionalism and her ability to interact with all age groups. She was fabulous.

As part of our Imaginative Writing unit, we interviewed Australian children’s author, Jess Galatola about her relevant and timely children’s book, ‘Some Families Change’. This book was a wonderful read and a totally engaging juncture for our students as it brought the curriculum to life. Jess provided so many purposeful and practical strategies to our young and aspiring writers.

Victoria was great with our students. She worked with them to build their ideas and to express themselves creatively. The students thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and she was very generous with her time when they had a lot of questions.

I am very pleased to report that we had a wonderful experience with the 2 speakers that we booked. Both Peter (Carnavas) and Pat (Flynn) worked well together, engaged the students and when they broke into smaller year level groups coped really well and tailored the lessons to suit the students.

The students and teachers were very impressed with Peter and should funds allow, we would like to have him back again next year.

"Gaye Chapman brings a different dimension to the illustrator session. Her multi-sensory games give the children a chance to fully participate in activities leading them to draw without constraints. Children of all ages enjoy her approach, particularly being so hands-on and using the senses of sight, sound, touch and taste to inspire them to draw. Her sessions with senior art students were highly appreciated with the students responding to her creative methods. They particularly enjoyed being ab [...]

Appreciate Sandie's communication and organisation.

We had Sophie with a small group - what a delight! She was so warm and receptive- the content was fantastic for developing writing skill. I would definitely recommend Sophie to other Schools.

Nikki is the most perfect guest author for Prep to Year 3! She brought props, played a musical instrument, sang songs, encouraged the students to dance, read books and presented a drawing tutorial. It was like a one woman circus had come to our school. The students absolutely loved Nikki, especially when Snow her chicken came to visit us. Nikki's books are kind, gentle, compassionate and a perfect fit our school. She is a lovely author who firmly believes that every child has a gift that God has [...]
