What people are saying
Nikki is the most perfect guest author for Prep to Year 3! She brought props, played a musical instrument, sang songs, encouraged the students to dance, read books and presented a drawing tutorial. It was like a one woman circus had come to our school. The students absolutely loved Nikki, especially when Snow her chicken came to visit us. Nikki's books are kind, gentle, compassionate and a perfect fit our school. She is a lovely author who firmly believes that every child has a gift that God has [...]
Dub's presentation engaged and inspired our students. He pitched the content to their different age levels. It was fun and enjoyable.
On behalf of Graceville SS and the Year 5 cohort I just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful writing workshop on Friday. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Your delivery of information and ideas really helped the children understand the importance of authorship and creative writing. The students also gained a lot of insight in to how they themselves could become effective writers. By giving them the opportunity to put pen to paper, the workshop was so successful, an [...]
Thank you Dr Helen Edwards for visiting our school during Book Week and introducing our students to your latest novel, The Rebels of Mount Buffalo. We can't wait for the next book so that we can have you back again!
It was a delight to have Sophie Beer at our school. She was such an enthusiastic and engaging presenter, adapting her style to engage small and large groups of Year 6-8 students. Her presentation was a great mix of backstory on her author and illustrator journey and practical tips for the students to approach their own writing and illustrating. Her presentation on disability and writing was particularly insightful, relevant and engaging. Our staff and students also loved her digital illustration [...]
Tracey and Lisa were great. They certainly met expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
Thank you so much for your time today. It was an absolutely fantastic session! I know that your time is precious but it would be wonderful to have you back for a longer session early in the new year.
The agency was organised and provided great supporting details. The performance was adjusted and suitable to each year level.
January is a wonderful author and speaker — warm, witty, and incredibly engaging. She had the audience laughing, reflecting, and completely captivated from start to finish. Her ability to connect so naturally with readers made the event a truly memorable experience for us.
Dr Rob Bell’s Science Show was an absolute highlight at PLC! His energy, humour, and passion for science had students engaged from start to finish. With jaw-dropping experiments and fun explanations, he made science exciting, accessible, and unforgettable. Dr Rob has a rare gift for inspiring curiosity and sparking wonder, leaving students buzzing with excitement long after the show. A fantastic experience that reminded us all how fun and powerful learning can be!
We appreciated Maria's presentation because the children, and the teachers, not only found her engaging and inspiring, but it was refreshing to gain an author's perspective of non-fiction writing.
Karen was able to engage the students with her knowledge, humour and personal journey as a writer. Her delivery on how to develop a character and narrative was most helpful to students and teachers.
Charlie was engaging with the students. It was incredible that within a 1 hour time slot, he was able to build enough rapport that they felt confident presenting their creative pieces to an audience. All of the students had incredibly positive feedback to share, the only negative was that the sessions weren’t longer!
I just wanted to say a very big thank you for your wonderfully engaging author visit today. You had our kids hooked from the get go! The teachers were also very complimentary and have been inspired with ideas for their quick write sessions with students.
