Choose Your Own Adventure!
To tie in with the 2025 Book Week theme, ‘Book an Adventure’, Dave Lowe has adapted his popular ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ workshop, as a ‘presentation’-style 45- / 60-minute session for large groups of students, from Years 3 to 8. In this fun, highly-interactive session, Dave will share insights into ideas-generation and plotting, and give each student a story template, as well as all the tips and tricks they’ll need to make their own short ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style book that they can take home and try out on friends and family.

What people are saying
Nadia has shared her story with schools around WA and speaks to students about the writing process. I'm not sure I've ever met anyone so passionate about books and writing! Don't miss your chance to book Nadia to come to your school - her message is powerful and she'll get your students excited to write their stories too!
The workshop was engaging and the boys were immediately hands-on.
Extremely useful. The content was fascinating and I appreciated all of the examples explored throughout the presentation too.
We’ve had our Author Visit with Catherine Bateson during Book Week and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you Sarah for sharing your books with our Prep to grade 6 classes. The students enjoyed the sessions and you were engaging with the students with lots of great questions being asked. The workshops we chose worked well with the different grade levels.
Irena's presentation was wonderful and more than met my expectations. She was also incredibly patient with me as we muddled through with the tech side of digital author visits and conscientious about following up. I would recommend her to any library service and hope we have the opportunity to work together again at some point.
Dave went well beyond expectations. He was enthusiastic and energetic and connected with all students from Prep right through to Year 6, engaging them throughout the whole presentation. The workshops were effective and useful for the Year 3 – 6 students. They learned many new things and have been utilising skills and techniques within the classroom already.
Paula’s presentation was greatly appreciated by participants, who found it very inspiring and useful.
Professional in all interactions. Prompt and friendly communication.
It was an absolute pleasure to have John at our school during Book Week celebrations. He went above and beyond with the children he spoke to throughout the day. Many of the teachers approached me afterwards to give positive feedback.
