What a joy Carla Salmon is! Her genuine delight at being able to share the love she has for her novel spills over into every aspect of her presentation. Students walked away brimming with ideas for character, setting and story. Carla’s passion is contagious! My highest recommendation comes with all the exclamation points!!

Scott was accommodating to our needs with a boys' class who had read one of his books. He inspired them to continue to read and to work on their writing.

Alison presented to our Year 7s as part of their work in English on writing from a perspective as a historical figure. She held the students’ interest with her calm delivery and engaging stories about how she used historical research into her own middle grade novel, inspiring them to weave interesting facts into their own work. Ali was easy to work with and very professional; I was particularly impressed with how she linked our students’ work with her own presentation to make it even more relata [...]

Both Michelle and Pat were very well received at our school. They were organised and what they presented was engaging for the students. We had positive feedback from both staff and students. Thanks very much.

Gregg always delivers a memorable experience, he engages with everyone that attend his shows. It is such a privilege to hear his stories and understand how these stories are inspired and created. He shares important cultural messages which relate to this day and age. Thank you Gregg Dreise from the Sunshine Beach SS community.

I thoroughly enjoyed Juliette's visit. She was bright happy and energetic and honest. We all loved her sense of humour.

It was particularly great for the children to see how an auth [...]

Great communication and a genuine willingness to answer questions.

Kellie presented to our whole school from Kindy to Year 6 and adjusted her presentations to fit the different year groups. She was engaging and well prepared. Both staff and students enjoyed her presentations and gave very positive feedback.

Sue exceeded expectations. She was brilliant and received great feedback from our participants. Thank you for your service. It is great to work with such an organised team.

We had a lovely Literature Event yesterday. Randa was fantastic, her sessions were thought-provoking, everything went smoothly and we have had great feedback from the staff and students. We are now thinking about next year and would love to have Randa back. We had a great time, thanks so much.

I just wanted to thank you on behalf of Ormiston College. Our guest visitors certainly enjoyed your presentation and as one person said on leaving “From now on I will be looking for his cartoon before I even read the front page.” Thank you again for being a part of our 25th Anniversary Literary Lunch.

Francis gave an engaging talk to our students on writing feature articles based on her experiences. The practical activities she used with the students were great.
