Kim Toft is the ultimate professional: highly organised, punctual, knowledgeable about her topic, and of course, very skilled and creative…couldn't improve on Kim's presentation. I always recommend Kim and this is her fourth visit to our school.

'Thank you so much for your visit - the students loved it and your books are in high circulation. We would be very happy to recommend you to any library!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rory H. Mather, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His insights and expertise into lyrical story writing and rhyme is amazing and the art of story and persistance is truly inspirational. Rory’s approach combines practicality with deep emotional intelligence, enabling students to unlock their potential and achieve their writing goals with a never give up approach. The strategies he offers are not only effective but also easy to implement, making a [...]

The children had a blast and I think it really helps when someone else (other than teachers and possibly some parents) tell them that they can write and their lives are not boring. The writing group on Monday morning were proven as success stories straight away with the "I remember when ...." activity and felt vindicated with the promise of written recognition if their ideas were used in one of your books - books by a successful, published author who came to talk with them and who struck an imme [...]

Charlotte presented to my nine-year old students in New Jersey, USA, via videoconference. Her presentation was well-organized, presented in terms the children could understand, and included shark jaws, which the children were in absolute awe over. Charlotte made sure she was prepared by having the students share questions ahead of time based on their curiosity and her website, which peeked the children's interest. From my experience with Charlotte, I would recommend her. I found her to be organi [...]

David was personable, great with the kids, interesting and fun! Kids learnt a lot as did the teachers

Speakers Ink makes it easy for me to locate and engage quality authors for our Book Week program

Candice entertained our P-3's with her stories. The students loved the puppets and getting to be part of the show. Candice's interacted wonderfully with our students and catered for all of the levels in the different classes.

What an absolute joy it was to have Kat working at our school this week, as part of the May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust. Both students and teachers have been inspired with her passion for poetry and children’s literature. Kat conveyed how only a few select words on a page can be the makings of a great piece of poetry! How brilliant, is this sage advice for the reluctant writer! Kat’s lesson content and creativity will definitely help our students continue to shine like diamonds!

Mr Yipadee's show was fantastic and both the kids and adults were fully engaged the whole time. It was fun and full of uplifting messages for everyone! The parents had so many positive comments and were all asking if Mr Yipadee was coming back. The concentration from children so young was quite amazing, everyone was laughing, smiling and joining in with the whole show. It was so motivational for the parents and children that everyone went away encouraged and happy. As a performer he used his n [...]

It was really really good and I liked going through the photos. She took a really good photo and we all didn't know it was a fake! I enjoyed that she had a lot of description about how she made her three books come together. She told us about the prehistoric times and the characters. It was fun. Jo gave us tips for our writing and it was nice to know that new and different stuff.

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.

Zachary Ashford tailored his presentation to a diverse and large cohort of students. His sessions were interactive, engaging and entertaining. Zach sought feedback constantly and communicated effectively throughout our visit. Would definately recommend!
