Tristan was on time, well-prepared and very engaging. He pitched his talk to Year 7s perfectly and it was a good mix of talk, video and music. Students commented very favourably afterwards and hopefully picked up some useful tips for creative writing.

Just a quick email to let you know how wonderful Mark Svendsen was. He was terrific and just "struck the right note" with everyone. All the feedback has been very positive, both about the keynote speech, and the two workshops. I'd really like to get him to come to our school for some student writing workshops next year.

I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of authors over the years, but January has been exceptional from the outset.

Charlie’s visit exceeded our expectations – he was great and the kids loved him! He was also a pleasure to work with, was always accommodating and always communicated with us promptly on email. He was outstanding!

Helen’s visit to our school was phenomenal! Her presentation was very informative, giving students an insight into the process and inspiration of her writing. Her presentation captured all student’s attention, engaging them through discussions, interactive examples, and props! All students thoroughly enjoyed Helen’s visit to our school!

Karen was amazing with the children. She got them to open up and think about things in a different way.

Jan Latta was an excellent speaker and we got a lot of positive feedback.

Both Veresdale and Woodhill schools enjoyed Martin's Visits. The children loved seeing the process that Martin engages in when illustrating and contributing their ideas. He captured their imagination and encouraged them to experiment with ideas and drawing etc. Thank you for recommending Martin for our visit this year.

We had a wonderful time with you - thanks. I bragged you up on the Library Listserve - every school should have you visit!

We were excited to welcome Dr. Rob Bell to our all-boys college, where he captivated our Year 7 students with his dynamic science experiments and innovative approach to creative writing. Dr. Bell’s ability to seamlessly blend hands-on scientific exploration with imaginative storytelling not only engaged our students but also ignited their curiosity and creativity. His sessions were a perfect blend of education and inspiration. We are incredibly grateful for his visit and look forward to future c [...]

Easy to find and book speakers. Much easier than contacting authors individually as many do not answer anyway.

Nikki was friendly and engaging from the moment she entered my classroom. The students were captivated as she read her story and then answered their questions.

Dub was absolutely lovely - he and the kids had a wonderful time, and he was happy to take on board our slightly different approach for the day - a very positive experience!

Last Friday, Year 1 students were treated to a very entertaining and informative session with Lisa Hollier and Tracey Roper. Their presentation was a visual feast of images and creativity. Every minute of the one hour session was effectively used and the students remained engaged and interested the whole time. Both Lisa and Tracey displayed good rapport with the students and were able to keep them interested with a variety of activities during their presentation. Tracey explained how she uses [...]
