What people are saying
Your visit was wonderful. The students are continually borrowing/reading your books. They are looking forward to receiving your finished painting.
Charlotte worked with our Year 7 and 8 students to hone their craft in creative writing. Charlotte has natural rapport with students and builds her workshops around student engagement and hands-on activities to immerse them in the processes of writing and editing fiction. Our students were highly engaged and supported by Charlotte.
Caz Goodwin’s author presentation at Carey Baptist Grammar School was brilliant. The children loved meeting a life-sized Daisy and we laughed at the antics of Daisy in the ‘Daisy Runs Wild’ theatre show. Caz shared plenty of authors’ tips to inspire young readers and writers, and answered the children’s questions about writing and ideas for stories. She gave children opportunities to engage with craft, language and writing, and non-fiction research on koalas. The children loved the Daisy stories [...]
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.
We recently held a Literature & Arts Festival at St. Catherine's Catholic College, The Whitsundays for our Secondary students. All the authors that attended were entertaining, engaging and inspiring. I have had so much positive feedback from students, staff and library colleagues. The students have all been raving about how excellent the festival was, and they were disappointed at the thought of returning to classes for the rest of the week. I have had reluctant readers coming into the library t [...]
Darren was very friendly to staff and students. He was more than willing to give extra time to speak to the students in a one on one environment. He was very engaging and got lots of audience participation with a game. Would definitely use Dave again as a speaker at our college.
Hit the nail on the head. Totally in line with the curriculum. Would recommend him to anyone in Australia, New Zealand, worldwide. Fantastic!
I was impressed with your attention to detail, efficiency and preparedness to help us out at short notice.
Sheryl, just wanted to say a BIG thank you for being so terrific on Saturday -- you'd put a lot of thought into it, and it was so appreciated ... Susan Johnson, author and journalist. Thank you, Sheryl! It was so great to meet you today and you did a beautiful job. I hope our paths cross again! ... Lauren Elise Daniels, author and editor
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.
Brett was an outstanding speaker. He nailed the balance between important information coupled with solid research, industry experience, stories, and humour. He was relatable and engaging. We would like to book him every year. Next year for the students as well as the parents.
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!
