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
It was engaging and informative. It was interactive for the grade 1s. It really sparked their interest in story writing. It also fitted well with our health unit on emotions.
As part of our Imaginative Writing unit, we interviewed Australian children’s author, Jess Galatola about her relevant and timely children’s book, ‘Some Families Change’. This book was a wonderful read and a totally engaging juncture for our students as it brought the curriculum to life. Jess provided so many purposeful and practical strategies to our young and aspiring writers.
We all think that you were brilliant. We love your books. You were the perfect person for us. We look forward to becoming avid Aleesah fans and following your new books.
We were delighted with Isobelle’s visit and would certainly like to have Isobelle visit again. We would certainly recommend Speaker’s Ink and Isobelle to other organisations and / or schools.
Peter was fantastic. The students were engaged and really enjoyed his presentation.
Benjamin Gilmour is a very engaging speaker with a wealth of personal experience and wonderful anecdotes. Given the breadth of his creativity in writing as well as film, no student leaves his talks without being touched in some way.
Lian held her audience in the palm of her hand for the entire time. She spun her stories and the girls were caught up in the imagination and creativity of Lian's storytelling and taken to an exciting and adventurous place of their own designing. The teachers were all very impressed with the visit, and many stayed to listen as they too were spellbound by Lian's stories. The Year 3 girls who had not read any of Lian's books (and are now queuing up to start "The Rogues") enjoyed the session and lea [...]
Julie was popular and engaging across all our primary and high school classes. At our high school she managed an auditorium session with all our middle school students and encouraged contribution and discussion. The students enjoyed the session and it had a follow on effect in the library, with all her books going on loan and being in demand.
Thank you so much for coming in today and sharing your wonderful book with our class. The children were truly engaged throughout the session. They listened with excitement, asked thoughtful questions, and were inspired by hearing directly from an author. It was such a special experience for them, and we are so grateful for the time and effort you put into making it memorable. Thanks again!
It was lovely to have Alison here sharing her stories and magic. The students really had a fabulous time.
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.
