You are an extremely entertaining speaker (and lunch companion!). You kept the students laughing. It was clear that you had our students’ full engagement by the number of questions and the reluctance of students to leave at the end of the session. I particularly noted that students hovered around you and the table of books as they left. Even more striking was one of our shyest year 7’s requesting your autograph at the end of the day (this has never happened before). Further to this I have one yo [...]

I have been dealing with Speakers Ink for nearly 10 years now and always find the staff to be very helpful and accommodating, particularly through the recent years. It may have taken 3 years but we finally got Tristan over the border!

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.

"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 [...]

Sue’s fabulous story telling immediately captures the attention of students, both young and older. Our younger students can’t wait for our very own copy of Sue’s latest tale and our older students have continued to test their geographical knowledge after taking the Panama challenge. A day with Sue is truly a great one and our students want to know when she’ll be back.

Allison's presentation on writing fantasy stories was both engaging and informative. Students were extremely interested in hearing about the process involved in writing stories and the elements of the fantasy genre. Allison's presentation was an excellent authentic experience to enhance their knowledge about writing.

Barry was well received by all the schools that he visited. His participation in our Readers Cup Competition was also great. He was an asset to the overall event.

During our Book Week celebrations this year we were delighted to have Serena Geddes spend time with our students from Kindergarten to Year 6. With the younger students (Kindy – Yr 2) she spoke with enthusiasm about the way her illustrations make it into books and entertained the students with her drawings making sure there was collaboration from the students as to what she drew. One of our students was chosen to help her as she read Samuel’s Kisses and he will certainly remember thi [...]

Peter Carnavas was wonderful. His presentations were very well received & he is a delightful person to host.

Mawter's stories have the uncouth humour reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Paul Jennings and therefore children will find them absolutely delightful.

It's always a pleasure welcoming Zanni to our school. Her presentations are innovative, engaging, informative and fun. Our students thoroughly enjoyed meeting her.

Dave is an excellent presenter, full of energy, humour and passion. He had the students engaged and enthusiastic from start to finish, and delivered loads of brilliant writing tips for both students and teachers. Everyone left the sessions inspired to start writing.

Excellent presentation based on what I had requested. The boys were highly engaged and learnt a lot from Nick's experiences.
