What people are saying
Pamela's visit was very well received by our girls. The PowerPoint presentations and worksheets she used to accompany her workshops with our year 8 and 10 girls were engaging and useful for the girls when thinking about how to successfully structure a story. I would thoroughly recommend Pamela for an author visit to other schools, particularly all girls' schools as many of her novels deal with females as the main protagonists.
I enjoyed the memoir writing workshop opportunity. It made me think very differently about why and what I'm writing. In addition to what I learned, I now have a clear path on next steps. Sarah taught me a lot about being more creative. Her session truly opened my mind. She's clear in message, and compassionate in approach.
The speaker engaged the students. Students were impressed by the presentation.
Edwina Shaw was a fabulous addition to our Literary Festival. She taught our Year 9 boys to write effectively by engaging their interests and making writing relatable and enjoyable. Her creative techniques, meditation and visualising were effective in drawing out their ideas and encouraging personal expression. Shaw's approach included interactive activities, real-life examples, and positive reinforcement to build their confidence and skills in writing.
Fantastic connection to the students, very easy going and such a humble man.
Angela adapted her presentation to our specific needs. She was engaging, informative, professional and personable. The students enjoyed her presentation and gained a lot. As her presentation was from an illustrator's perspective, she reinforced the classroom teachers analysis of picture books. The teachers commented that she explained a lot of things that were particular to an illustrator's profession which enhanced their knowledge of visual literacy. Next year we would like to have longer sessi [...]
Thanks so much Vicki for your presentations to the year 9s, especially your patience with the kids! They really enjoyed your talk. Thanks again.
Jess Black visited our school as part of our Book Week celebrations to provide workshops for our students in Prep to Year 3. The students enjoyed hearing about Jess's books and the inspiration for her stories. Her visit has generated a lot of interest in her books. Jess differentiated workshops for different year levels.
Speakers Ink are always very helpful in booking speakers. Very professional service.
Many children would never normally have the opportunity to meet a 'real life' author so it was nice for them to have the chance to see the book and the author at the same time. Robert was patient, keen and enthusiastic to answer all students' questions. Author visits encourage children to try and write their own stories and never give up. Our students left talking about writing and illustrating their own books. Thanks for the inspiration.
Belinda’s presentation style was very suitable for our students. She connected well with all year levels and understood how to engage them. I was very impressed with her style personable and very approachable for students. I would welcome Belinda again to speak to our students.
Thank you for single-handedly bringing my 10 year old son back to reading.
