I just wanted to thank you on behalf of Ormiston College. Our guest visitors certainly enjoyed your presentation and as one person said on leaving “From now on I will be looking for his cartoon before I even read the front page.” Thank you again for being a part of our 25th Anniversary Literary Lunch.

The girls were so interested hearing Gabrielle speak. She was engaging, interesting, and we all thought she was so, so talented. Was a treat for us to have her.

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Nicky to present to our Prep students here at Christ Church Grammar School. Her warmth and enthusiasm shone through from the moment she began. The presentation was perfectly pitched for our younger students, engaging, interactive and wonderfully captivating. Our students were completely absorbed, laughing, learning and asking thoughtful questions throughout. The staff were equally impressed and appreciated the way she made storytelling and illustration com [...]

Megan captivated her audience as she shared valuable insights into her writing process. Megan inspired our students to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through writing. She made her books come alive as she used excerpts to highlight her ideas. Our students (and teachers) loved her session.

Andrea was a great speaker. She engaged her audiences, across multiple ages in each session. She was approachable, articulate and her content was appropriate for each group. On the lead up to the event, Andrea made contact and went out of her way to tailor her speeches to suit our themes and ethos. She was considerate and thoughtful. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a speaker.

I asked for recommendations of presenters in my area and received a detailed and informative response that reflected how well Speakers Ink know their presenters.

I just wanted to check in and thank you again. After having time to think and consider I just wanted to reinforce how much our students enjoyed your three days. All the conversations I have had confirm this. You did a great job appealing to such a range of ages and I appreciated the preparation you put in ahead of time. Your session has inspired the older grades who have not read Secrets yet to continue and use the text in their lessons. The students are interested in this and some have do [...]

Students had the opportunity to implement their creative writing skills during Matt Porter’s workshop. The students were enthralled and totally engaged during the entire session, which catered to all abilities. His activities and tips achieved immediate results and the kids were soon writing far more descriptive and exciting stories. What a brilliant visit from an up-and-coming young author. We hope to see him back here in the near future.

Deb was a very engaging speaker and performer. The children really enjoyed the visit and have been madly borrowing her books. Deb pitched her talk to each year level and managed to have everyone laughing and learning at their level - including the teachers.

After Kathmandu announced the acquisition of Rip Curl, Tim did a magnificent job bringing “The Rip Curl Story” to life at our Kathmandu management conference. He was inspiring, full of humour and very knowledgeable sharing the essence of Rip Curl and its founders. The entire management team – around 70 team members – had a great evening listening to Tim. We are even more excited about partnering up with an iconic brand like Rip Curl after Tim’s presentation.’

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.

Rachel was very funny and engaging and the kids were buzzing when they left. Several of the teachers commented about how much they enjoyed it. She really pushed the message about how important reading is.

Shannon visited my year 8 focused literacy class. Her presentation was very well organised, relevant and extremely interesting. Shannon discussed the steps she went through to write and publish her book "Was Not Me". This was closely linked to the theory behind story structures. Students had an opportunity to see early drafting notes and discuss the drafting, illustrating and publishing processes. All of this was presented in a manner that suited my class perfectly and there were lots of o [...]

Can you envision over 2,000 students from across Australia participating in a collaborative Zoom workshop, where they spontaneously rise and applaud after a poetry performance? Inspired and motivated, these students don't just write; they eagerly share and perform their own poetry, delving into the depths of their emotions and life experiences. Joel models the process, making it accessible for students to adopt and make their own. They're so engrossed in their writing that they don't want to put [...]
