What people are saying
In 2014 I was the conference convener (at the time, my third – but not last – such event) for the Romance Writers of Australia conference in Sydney – the largest event of its kind in the southern hemisphere, with over 450 delegates in attendance, and worked for several years as the association and events administrative assistant. I initially invited Amy Andrews to be a speaker and MC at the 2014 event as she is a well-renowned bestselling author, widely respected in her field, and has a lifetime [...]
Thanks for organizing the author talk yesterday. Our girls had a lovely time and left feeling quite inspired about writing. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend.
We really enjoyed having Tristan visit us and work with the students during our Writers Camp. Tristan really engaged the students and give them plenty of inspiration as well as giving them practical advice that they could apply to their writing. He exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Tristan to other schools. He also took the time to find out what our needs were for our group of students and tailored his presentations to suit our requirements.
Zena Shapter's workshops and talks have been thoroughly loved by staff and customers at Mosman Library Service. We have engaged her to work with both our teens and our adults, and everyone has always come out of her talks and workshops eager to use what they've learned and full of praise for her instruction. She is also a pleasure to work with, always professional and friendly. If you are looking for a speaker or someone to lead a workshop, I would look no further than Zena.
Liz was very enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. She engaged the children very well and they all enjoyed the session immensely. We received nothing but positive feedback from parents, wanting to know more about Liz and her work.
I thoroughly enjoyed both shows myself. But what amazed me was the way you engaged the Year 10 students. It was so lovely to see them all switched on and interested. They haven't been an easy year to teach because as an entire group they are very disengaged from their learning. I have even had a couple of students in year 10 approach me about switching into a science course for year 11 next year - which they hadn't considered doing previously. Your outreach is incredibly valuable, to watch you i [...]
We had absolutely no issues dealing with Speakers Ink - very easy to deal with and arrangements were well organised. Yes, we would certainly deal with Speakers Ink again... ...Yes, expectations were very much met!
Thank you for the wonderful job you did with our girls towards the end of last term several girls have raved about how beneficial they found your input. Thank you for your wonderfully professional conduct, easy nature and thorough preparation. Please accept our very sincere thanks.
James’ visit met expectations and beyond. Everything James had to share was greatly received by staff and students. I would definitely recommend him.
Gregg had a wealth of knowledge to share. We would love to have him again however next time we would likely book him for an in person session as he is a very interactive presenter. Gregg provided attendees with a plethora of resources and ideas for the classroom!
Peter's workshop was, without a doubt, the highlight of our library year! We already have plans to invite Peter back for a follow-up workshop in the near future. I also wanted to thank you for making Peter available to schools through Speakers Ink.
I thoroughly enjoyed Juliette's visit. She was bright happy and energetic and honest. We all loved her sense of humour. I loved the way she opened up about a writer’s life and her family, the children could really identify with her. Room 3's eyes were alight when she read the book we had focused on. It was great for the students to have Juliette explain how she created 'Gwendolyn' as that was the book that was assigned to our class. It was particularly great for the children to see how an auth [...]
