Andrew King…absolutely wonderful!!! What a lovely man. The kids loved him. And I’ve had some very positive feedback from teachers. He’s a keeper!

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! It gave me ideas and I loved the chance to do some writing. It was interesting to hear the memoir ideas from other people and to connect with them, even if very briefly.

We would highly recommend choosing Jess Black as your guest Author. Jess has a warm conversational style that really puts the children at ease. They enjoyed hearing tales of her childhood; listened intently as she read from one her books; and during jointly constructed story time, the students were all engaged, critically thinking and wanting to contribute to the discussion.

Engaged from start to finish - Not a lot of people can hold a crowd for 8 hours but Rachal, you did this with your usual style and professionalism, Thank you for stretching me and getting me out of my comfort zone.

Mawter's stories have the uncouth humour reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Paul Jennings and therefore children will find them absolutely delightful.

Pamela is soft spoken and an engaging speaker. She is a fabulous storyteller. Pamela had the students enthralled with her stories, which demonstrated the amount of research she has conducted in writing her stories.

Fantastic connection to the students, very easy going and such a humble man.

Angela was so engaging and generous with students. Students and teachers alike came out singing her praises and were grateful for the time spent in her workshops. Our Year 5 & 6 students even ignored the bell (a Herculean feat) to continue their session into their lunch break. Such a good communicator. A fabulous choice and we will be ordering any of her books in the future.

Sarah came and read her fantastic book “Meowster Chef” with our whole school during our Literacy Week, November 2022. Sarah not only engaged each group, but organised a cooking activity for after the reading, which the students loved. Our school is a Special Developmental school, which Sarah hadn’t attended before, so she generously gave up her time to walk around the school and chat with me about how to best engage with our students – amazing!! We all loved having Sarah attend our school and [...]

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 [...]
