What people are saying
I was so incredibly thrilled to have you there! A little secret – you were an absolute favourite, both with me and the kids!! Thank you so much! I was doing some work with them after the sessions, and they were using your techniques! Amazing! If I can keep it going for a few years, I will definitely have you back!
Darren’s writing and presence resonated very well with teens…His talk was quick-moving, incorporated subject matter geared to the age group, and got them participating, laughing and having fun. I felt that he had a big impact on the students and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
The delightful Jackie French visited us this morning. Jackie is a captivating speaker and her work is always well received. Is there is any chance that we can procure another booking for Jackie in 2013? We would love to have her visit us again!!!
Charlotte visited our school and spoke with three large groups of Preps, Yr 1 and Yr 2. She was very engaging, easy to listen to, interesting and interactive. She shared some of her childhood stories and also explained how she comes up with writing ideas. Each session was tailored well to each age group, sharing her range of different books each time. Charlotte also responded well to the Yr 6 Podcast questions about the reflective and collaborative aspects of being an author. I can very highly [...]
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!
Thank you for recommending Kyle for this year’s Literature Festival Day. It was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback from students and teachers.
The students and teacher absolutely loved Louise Park. They were thrilled to hear about her secret identities, how she writes her books and giving the students to create their own Zac Power adventure was amazing!
Our students enjoyed Sheryl's Author-in-Residence with us. She did a great job appealing to such a range of ages and I appreciate the preparation she put in ahead of time. Her sessions also inspired the older grades who have not yet read Secrets of Eromanga to continue and use the text in their lessons. The students have even done some follow up research about the Elliot dinosaur.
Brett kept the boys engaged for the entire hour with lots of positive comments and thank yous from them. The parent presentation was also well received.
We had a wonderful visit with Kim. She is an enthusiastic, energetic and entertaining presenter. The students responded beautifully to Kim. They loved her stories, were entranced while she showed them how she painted on silk and enjoyed ‘The 12 Underwater Days of Christmas’. Our library spaces were so colourful and beautiful with all her paintings displayed. She was very friendly and easy to work with and I will certainly have her visit again in the future.
Taryn engaged with the students and provided valuable strategies on how to improve dialogue in stories.
Thank you once again, for being the most superb speaker's agency possible, with so much care and commitment.
