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
Really fantastic speaker. The students were highly engaged and loved every minute of it. Nick Earls was just a wonderful presenter and we'd have him back to our school in a heartbeat.
Katrina changed her presentations in a few places to match the different year levels. She was lovely and engaged the children exceptionally well. Katrina's props (dolls, puppets etc) were fabulous to accompany her books and storytelling.
The year 7s are still talking about you. It’s always wonderful to see students inspired to love reading.
My class attended the session you did with the other authors at St Francis for the Readers and Writers Festival. They were so inspired and enthusiastic for writing afterwards, it was fantastic!
Absolutely brilliant session and lots of positive feedback. Great to catch up and meet you.
"Gaye Chapman brings a different dimension to the illustrator session. Her multi-sensory games give the children a chance to fully participate in activities leading them to draw without constraints. Children of all ages enjoy her approach, particularly being so hands-on and using the senses of sight, sound, touch and taste to inspire them to draw. Her sessions with senior art students were highly appreciated with the students responding to her creative methods. They particularly enjoyed being ab [...]
Samantha has such a personable approach and engages the children, taking them on a journey with her. Her passion for literacy and her interest in future writers (my students) is evident. Thankyou Samantha for yet another wonderful incursion.
Thank you for your awesome presentation! The students were engaged the whole time and loved experiencing your stories as you told them.The great point about the power of using the senses to paint pictures in our audience's mind was fantastic. Using this technique in your storytelling helped students see how valuable this tool can be. Thank you for visiting our school and sharing your life as an author... very engaging and inspiring!
Thank you so much for visiting Nudgee College yesterday and speaking with our Writers’ Circle boys. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. The boys – particularly the Years 5-7s – absolutely raved about your presentation. Thank you again.
Speakers Ink staff were polite and patient with the wait time needed for school approval in between booking and confirmation, they obviously understand the demands of a school environment.
Sophie was brilliant, informative, tailored to meet what the kids were doing, exploring in class. The writers workshop was also great, kids got a lot out of it and are enthusiastic to write and have their work shared with others. Really enjoyable.
