Jonathan was great with the boys. He read to them, explained his writing and illustrating processes and then invited the boys to draw ideas that he could use in his new book. The boys were totally engaged for the session.

I was impressed with your attention to detail, efficiency and preparedness to help us out at short notice.

The children and staff are still talking about your visit and your books are flying out the library from students and teachers alike! Your teacher notes have been passed on and gratefully received. We certainly will recommend you to anyone looking for a speaker and I will happily forward on a review for you. I asked the staff for any feedback and everything was positive. Quite honestly it’s the best author talk we’ve had! I have never seen the kids so engaged before, especially the older studen [...]

Katherine was an entertaining speaker and our students enjoyed her presentation and workshop. I would recommend her and Speakers Ink, as both were professional, friendly, and excellent for our school.

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

An engaging speaker and the feedback from staff and students was very positive. We would book Aleesah again and recommend her to others.

Susy Boyer did an interactive chalk pastel workshop with our class 1 and 2 children. I had been to a workshop with Susy in previous years at another school and thought of her instantly when organizing a drawing workshop with young children. Susy is very professional and teaches the children with a calm and patient manner. She was well received by teachers and children, who all got more than they were expecting from the workshop and I would be happy to use Susy’s services again.

Kate and Jol were so engaging and tailored their presentations perfectly for our lower and upper primary groups. Our students and staff are still raving about Kate and Jol and I've had many parents tell me their children went home and talked about how amazing it was for days after. Kate and Jol were so friendly and a joy to work with and I would highly recommend them to any school looking for a hilarious and enthusiastic incursion for their students!

Vikki’s warm and passionate love of books is infectious for students of all ages! She engaged and energised our students leaving the lower grades enthused about reading and writing, while the upper-level students were inspired with practical tips to help make their writing more interesting.

James Roy is a fabulous story teller. He had our year 7 & 8's enthralled. Staff and students enjoyed the day and we would welcome James back any time.

‘Jenni came to the Waikiki Storytelling Conference here. I plugged her into the Summer Fun program, and I distinctly recall Manoa's new gym (huge space with horrible acoustics) where 200 sweaty elementary school kids fell under her spell, completely hushed, caught in the web of story on her voice. It repeated in several small and medium sized tellings in that conference, and again this past tour, when we stayed at her house, went on her 'walking tour', and to several gigs. She just charms them. [...]

Our Prep students loved Serena. She read one of her books and conducted a drawing workshop. The students really enjoyed learning new techniques about how to draw characters with expression. Every one of them walked away afterwards with a smile on their face and some wonderful drawings. Serena has a lovely bubbly personality and was thoroughly entertaining and engaging.
