What people are saying
I would once again like to extend my warmest thanks for your visit on Friday. The feedback we have received from students has been tremendous. You are not only a talented author but a respected and talented mentor.
"Shannon provided such a great perspective on how to write in this particular genre (kids & picturebooks), as I normally write fiction drama. Great tips and great knowledge." "Loved Shannon's workshop. I ended up making sure that a picture book will be my next project!" "Shannon was very honest in her presentation - she provided many examples of what to look for in a good picture book and suggestions for writing. She was very generous with her advice. A fantastic presentation!" "Great f [...]
Jenny Wang helped us kick off a week long celebration of learning as part of Catholic Week activities at Jubilee Primary. With Jenny's expertise, all students successfully created their own manga characters, inspiring some students to submit art work for the school's mini Art Show. Jenny's own passion for using animation to spread positive community messages could be a great starter for students building their own community message.
Professional in all interactions. Prompt and friendly communication.

There was this incredible energy throughout the school and all these wonderful people helped create the oeuvre of joy and creativity in the kids. We were all touched by their presence and skill and collectively, as a community, we felt honour and privilege. All the feedback has been incredibly positive from children, staff and parents. Anne has been an excellent ambassado [...]
We just had Anne E Stewart visit for our grade 3s and 4s at Eltham North Primary School. She was absolutely fantastic! The children and staff alike were mesmerised by her story telling and richness of stories. Please pass on our greatest thanks to her for such an inspiring and wonderful gift.
...Kirsty Eagar was great. The girls, especially in year 11, really enjoyed listening to her. I would definitely recommend her as an inspirational speaker especially for students year 10 and above.
Inspirational, extremely open to students questions, flexible to school routine, excellent speaker.
We’ve had our Author Visit with Catherine Bateson during Book Week and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Gabriel passed on his vast knowledge and professional experience to students through interactive activities that focused on the process of designing a character, the tools in creating a page spread, portraying the emotional body language of characters and training the eye in composition. Gabriel’s presentation methods were engaging, motivational and inspirational.
