Easy to book and great communication

I couldn’t recommend this workshop highly enough. Sarah is one of the best teachers (of anything) I know. Her capacity to give very specific, targeted, positive and encouraging feedback makes it possible for all who attend her workshops to understand what strengths they have and how they can improve, without ever feeling despondent about their capacity to do this hard thing we call writing. She has an experienced writerly eye, combined with genuine care for her students. I mean, what more could [...]

An author, a bear and a pyjama parade, oh my! The Claremont Community Hub & Library hosted Sharon during Book Week 2021. The children [and parents] both watched on as she brought her heart-warming and funny book “Bedtime Daddy” alive. Sharon was a skillful storyteller who clearly knows how to engage with her audience. Of course, a book about bedtime meant we got to wear our pjs to work… Best day ever!

This was Jane’s second book week with us and more than met our expectations. We really enjoyed her presentation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way Phillip lifted the perceived ceiling on the ability of Year 7 and 8 students. They have risen to the challenge and succeeded. It is wonderful to see this group of students engage in the real world issues and show genuine empathy for others as well as having the knowledge of world issues. Phillip, while giving structure, encouraged the students to “stretch their brains” and to take risks. The encouragement given to each individual as they read will be remembered as [...]

Rachel was engaging and energetic - our students loved her author talk. Her book readings had her audience captivated and definitely encouraged her books to fly off our shelves!

Sandhya Parappukkaran’s session was focused on brainstorming ideas for writing topics. The students left the session truly inspired, begging to continue with their ideas when we returned to class. We have since been able to use these techniques in the classroom. This was an excellent session where the students learnt great skills, including incorporating their own cultures or special memories into their writing.

Zena offered the girls at Ascham a highly engaging and rewarding experience, her invaluable advice about the creative process inspired our students to write more and read more! Thanks again for visiting us.

Krista Bell was enchanting and she held the children's attention with stories of her family and travels and how she turns her memories into published books. The children were fascinated by the objects she had and again she was able to use each to tell a story. We loved Krista's warmth and enthusiasm and would definitely recommend her for primary school visits.

Philip was engaging and very quick to tailor his talk to our student population. The workshop was very worthwhile boosting students' confidence and leaving them with a poem of which they were proud.

Thank you so much for the wonderful work you did with our girls yesterday and for sharing your work with us!

Very interesting, well presented, engaging workshop for children

Richard was fantastic. The boys were totally engaged. He was entertaining and spoke to the boys at their level.
