We’ve had our Author Visit with Catherine Bateson during Book Week and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Benjamin Gilmour is a very engaging speaker with a wealth of personal experience and wonderful anecdotes. Given the breadth of his creativity in writing as well as film, no student leaves his talks without being touched in some way.

I would once again like to extend my warmest thanks for your visit on Friday. The feedback we have received from students has been tremendous. You are not only a talented author but a respected and talented mentor.

Dimity was very entertaining, lots of valuable information. I would love to attend more of Dimity’s workshops

I invited Angie to speak at an event at the School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Queensland (15-16 August, 2025). Angie gave a beautiful presentation and book reading; the audience included undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, professional translators, and members of the general public, and this wide-ranging audience was both moved and inspired by her presentation. Angie’s joyful cross-cultural approach was perfectly suited to the event, and she also provided a live [...]

Sarah was insightful and inclusive with participants and created a safe atmosphere for people to be revealing about their memoirs. I would have loved this workshop to go for two days or at least one!

Engaging performance for all students

We were thrilled to welcome Ady and Adam, authors of Luna Roo, to Randwick Public School today to read to our Kindergarten students. Their engaging storytelling and professional presentation had students truly captivated and joining in with enthusiasm. Thank you for planning such an interactive, creative and visually memorable reading event. It was just delightful!

We welcomed Michelle back to our school after the popular response from our Upper primary students and staff. This year she visited with our Lower primary students and staff who loved her enthusiasm for poetry and gave them wonderful tips on title ideas, where ideas can come from and the importance of favourite words. "Best author visit to date"

Professional in all interactions. Prompt and friendly communication.

Samantha Wheeler is an excellent speaker for any school interested in engaging students in quality writing. A highly respected published author who can genuinely help students transform their ideas into the written form. Writing narrative or persuasive texts can be a daunting task for even seasoned writers, but Samantha shares ideas and strategies good writers use to get their ideas on the page. Tingalpa State School would gladly book Samantha again.

Sarah was fabulous! Her presentation was jam packed full of useful information and I have had lots of positive feedback from everyone who attended.
