Choose Your Own Adventure!
To tie in with the 2025 Book Week theme, ‘Book an Adventure’, Dave Lowe has adapted his popular ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ workshop, as a ‘presentation’-style 45- / 60-minute session for large groups of students, from Years 3 to 8. In this fun, highly-interactive session, Dave will share insights into ideas-generation and plotting, and give each student a story template, as well as all the tips and tricks they’ll need to make their own short ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style book that they can take home and try out on friends and family.

What people are saying
Thank you for single-handedly bringing my 10 year old son back to reading.
We recently booked Andrew King for the Robotronica event at QUT Gardens Point. Andrew's storytelling style fitted perfectly with the First 5 Forever early literacy program. Andrew engaged in conversational reading with the children, discussed the illustrations, brought along characters from his books and encouraged the children to draw their own Bear Bot. He also brought along stickers and design paper for the children to use. I would recommend Andrew King to other organisations and would be onl [...]
Edwina Shaw was a fabulous addition to our Literary Festival. She taught our Year 9 boys to write effectively by engaging their interests and making writing relatable and enjoyable. Her creative techniques, meditation and visualising were effective in drawing out their ideas and encouraging personal expression. Shaw's approach included interactive activities, real-life examples, and positive reinforcement to build their confidence and skills in writing.
Angela engaged the students with her presentation. They benefited from both her story-writing guidance and her advice about illustration.
I enjoyed the memoir writing workshop opportunity. It made me think very differently about why and what I'm writing. In addition to what I learned, I now have a clear path on next steps. Sarah taught me a lot about being more creative. Her session truly opened my mind. She's clear in message, and compassionate in approach.
Rachal was amazing - Friendly and down to earth, she was super easy to relate to and get into that frame of mind to absorb the training being put in front of us. Weeks later, I'm happy to say that I am using some of Rachal's teachings on a daily basis without even realising it, but am trying to be mindful to purposefully wield them. Having anxiety as well, she has given me some really useful tools to manage my time and priorities as well as of use in 'those kind' of conversations with clients. T [...]
Fantastic connection to the students, very easy going and such a humble man.
Pamela's visit was very well received by our girls. The PowerPoint presentations and worksheets she used to accompany her workshops with our year 8 and 10 girls were engaging and useful for the girls when thinking about how to successfully structure a story. I would thoroughly recommend Pamela for an author visit to other schools, particularly all girls' schools as many of her novels deal with females as the main protagonists.
The speaker engaged the students. Students were impressed by the presentation.
Thanks so much Vicki for your presentations to the year 9s, especially your patience with the kids! They really enjoyed your talk. Thanks again.
Kept me informed and up to date. Quick responses to any enquiries
