Amazing! Sophie was fantastic and so great online for our digital events. High energy and great with children of diverse ages.

Thanks for organizing the author talk yesterday. Our girls had a lovely time and left feeling quite inspired about writing. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend.

We had the wonderful Alison out to read her beautiful books today, the children were thoroughly engaged during her storytime, they especially loved the storytime song, which we heard them singing later that afternoon

All of the students were engaged. He appealed to our Preps and then kept the Year 6’s and 7’s very busy in a building activity. He was very generous with his time and interacted very well with the students.

Zewlan Moor is a wonderful champion of the local KidLit community. It has become a tradition for the Who's who of kidlit writers in Brisbane to have a launch at Where the Wild Things Are and have Zewlan Moor as our launch host. Zewlan is a confident speaker and asks insightful and thought provoking questions of the authors she is helping launch. She takes the time to read your book and understand your story and also understand you as a writer and a person. Zewlan helped me launch my debut pictu [...]

We loved having Chrissy Byers, author/illustrator, come and present to our children in rural Queensland at our Breaker Camp at the end of 2016. Her presentation to our large group of multi-age primary school children, despite being close to bedtime, kept them engaged and interested. The children asked lots of sensible questions and were very surprised by the number of hours spent in the editing stage of Chrissy’s book, “The Magic In Boxes”. The children were fascinated by Chrissy’s illustrati [...]

Professional and efficient

My Kindergarten children love to meet all different people in all different jobs and roles, so they were beyond excited to have a real life author coming to Kindy to share their book. Jess had such a wonderful presence with the group and was so engaging with each and every child. The activities she had planned were perfect for our age group and resulted in a lot of laughter and squeals of fun! The children were so proud to share their work and the illustrations they created, and some have even b [...]

Vacen presented a series of engaging workshops for our students in years 4, 5 and 6 at our 2020 School Book Week. It was wonderful how she catered her program around “writing focus” requests from teachers. The children thoroughly enjoyed not only the writing activity but also the chance to learn about “World Building” in Fantasy writing and character development. Vacen was prepared, professional and it was a pleasure hosting her here at Our Lady of Mt Carmel.

Nikki was friendly and engaging from the moment she entered my classroom. The students were captivated as she read her story and then answered their questions.

Thank you for the day you spent at Chisholm. The kids all enjoyed their time with you and found your stories interesting and engaging. The feedback from teachers has also been very positive, especially in relation to your ability to relate to the students. The English HOD was interested in getting you back in the future!
