What people are saying
Pip captivated the audience with an engaging and interactive session that left a lasting impression on everyone present. Pip shared insights into her writing journey, the inspiration behind her works, and the creative process that brings her stories to life. The interactive nature of the talk allowed students to ask questions and gain valuable advice on developing their own narratives.
Tony's personal connection to the specific audience is an absolute talent. By listening to the specific questions asked by different year levels the groups each had a very different and unique presentation. His ability to draw and make connections to his works is pure talent.
Thank you so very much for your BRILLIANT presentation. Your enthusiasm, passion and pure joy about writing and all things book related, was so infectious we had all the students and staff just buzzing!
James was a huge hit with our students and his sessions sold out - up to 800 students in our biggest venue. He had the kids enthralled and was such a pleasure to work with too. He is very easy going and positive.
David Hallett challenged many of our students' personal views of poetry and politics. His performances allowed students to appreciate the malleability of poetry, highlighting the fact it is far more than words on a page.
“We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! Tiff’s use of props and visuals to connect with the themes in her beautiful book was very engaging and stimulating for our students. The students and I loved learning about Wonder Earth with Tiff”
We have now booked Prue Mason for the past 4 years and she always meets our expectations. When students have read and analysed one or two of her novels and can then ask questions of the author face to face, it is very special. Her workshop makes the reading relevant but also stimulates in the children an interest to write for fun. We shall book Prue for next year and would encourage other schools to do so as well.
Kate and Jol were so engaging and tailored their presentations perfectly for our lower and upper primary groups. Our students and staff are still raving about Kate and Jol and I've had many parents tell me their children went home and talked about how amazing it was for days after. Kate and Jol were so friendly and a joy to work with and I would highly recommend them to any school looking for a hilarious and enthusiastic incursion for their students!
Matthew was the perfect edition to our event. He was so diligent in taking my calls and responding to emails in the lead up to the event. On the day of the event, Matthew showed up on time and was flexible. He was an absolute hit and was so completely inundated during the book signing that we had no time to get him on stage for a presentation.; perhaps next time!
Trevor entertained and educated the students with his traditional stories and teachings. His knowledge and lessons are invaluable we would love to have him back at our school again in the future.
Sandie's ability to suggest an author to fulfil our need made the selection so much easier. Her knowledge of their talents and experience meant that we found Dave and were able to have him confirm in a short time frame. Thanks Sandie for making this such a positive experience.
Astred Hicks has recently delivered a guest lecture to a group of students in the Master of Publishing program, for the second year in the row. Her expertise, passion, and ability to engage and inspire the students were truly remarkable. Her love for books and design was contagious, which created a positive and inspiring atmosphere in the classroom. Astred encouraged students to embrace creativity, think outside the box, and push the boundaries of traditional book cover design and illustration. [...]
