Kim has just left our school and she is truly a gifted artist, author and speaker. I have not enjoyed an author visit so much. Her energy and obvious love she has for her work is infectious and the Year 2 children were captivated. The year 7 students who helped move her equipment were enthralled by her and her work and Kim is so open with children they would have kept her talking all day if I hadn’t shooed them back to class. We would like to book Kim to visit again in August if possibl [...]

Kellie presented to our whole school from Kindy to Year 6 and adjusted her presentations to fit the different year groups. She was engaging and well prepared. Both staff and students enjoyed her presentations and gave very positive feedback.

Tristan was on time, well-prepared and very engaging. He pitched his talk to Year 7s perfectly and it was a good mix of talk, video and music. Students commented very favourably afterwards and hopefully picked up some useful tips for creative writing.

Both Veresdale and Woodhill schools enjoyed Martin's Visits. The children loved seeing the process that Martin engages in when illustrating and contributing their ideas. He captured their imagination and encouraged them to experiment with ideas and drawing etc. Thank you for recommending Martin for our visit this year.

I thoroughly enjoyed Juliette's visit. She was bright happy and energetic and honest. We all loved her sense of humour. I loved the way she opened up about a writer’s life and her family, the children could really identify with her. Room 3's eyes were alight when she read the book we had focused on. It was great for the students to have Juliette explain how she created 'Gwendolyn' as that was the book that was assigned to our class. It was particularly great for the children to see how an auth [...]

What an engaging and positive presenter! The joy Chris brought to the students as he interacted with them with true interest in their lives and their work was fabulous. His amazing resources for teachers are a testament to Chris and his commitment to sharing a passion for reading and writing with everyone.

Alison presented to our Year 7s as part of their work in English on writing from a perspective as a historical figure. She held the students’ interest with her calm delivery and engaging stories about how she used historical research into her own middle grade novel, inspiring them to weave interesting facts into their own work. Ali was easy to work with and very professional; I was particularly impressed with how she linked our students’ work with her own presentation to make it even more relata [...]

We were absolutely transfixed by your Presentation. I have never had so many Members approach me to thank me for finding you for our club. Quite a group of us always have coffee downstairs after our Meeting & we all agreed that we were indeed very privileged to have you share your story with us. I have been lucky enough to find some very interesting people to speak to us this year; they all have been great but you were by far the most talented & accomplished speaker we have had – not just this [...]

Easy to find and book speakers. Much easier than contacting authors individually as many do not answer anyway.

The authors were engaging and interesting and very well rehearsed.

Candice's presentation for our middle school children was very well received and the group selected for the writing workshop were excited and productive.

Karen was amazing with the children. She got them to open up and think about things in a different way.
