What people are saying
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!
It was great to be able to contact Speakers Ink who could then recommend presenters to meet the needs of our school. Nothing was a hassle & booking speakers was seamless.
Kristin was highly engaging with this age group while at the same time encouraging students to tell their own stories. I would definitely recommend her to other schools.
We all thought the session was brilliant and as you could see the children were thoroughly engaged.
Western Cape College Mapoon Campus was delighted to welcome illustrator Simon Deshon, also known as Siggo, who shared his creativity and passion for art through a series of engaging illustration workshops with our Kindergarten to Year 6 students.

I will be booking Madonna again. This year is our third year with Madonna and each year we have been impressed by her professionalism and presentation.
Vikki’s warm and passionate love of books is infectious for students of all ages! She engaged and energised our students leaving the lower grades enthused about reading and writing, while the upper-level students were inspired with practical tips to help make their writing more interesting.
Wonderful, warm and engaging. Well done Lorraine - looking forward to having you back again!
Victoria was great with our students. She worked with them to build their ideas and to express themselves creatively. The students thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and she was very generous with her time when they had a lot of questions.
Marco has been coming to our school for many years and continues to delight and entertain the students and teachers.
Mark was wonderfully engaging and energetic. His performance style really brought stories and poetry to life, and the students were highly interactive throughout his session. The use of rhythm, rhyme, and audience participation kept everyone involved and excited. Teachers also commented on how well he adapted to the age group and inspired students to play with language in creative ways.
We had six virtual sessions with Chris, spread across two different days. I appreciated that he took on feedback I delivered from the first days sessions and applied this to the latter three sessions. Applying the feedback brought some more structure to the sessions and allowed the students to learn more about Chris and his practice, which showed them why the workshop was relevant and why he was a relevant person to deliver the workshop (as opposed to the same prompts coming from their teachers) [...]
Chrissy's experience as a teacher was very obvious... she was able to handle large groups with aplomb... she engaged all listeners and presented valuable information about the writing/illustrating and publishing processes.
