Seamless and efficient
Brisbane Catholic Education - February 2021Sandie was so organised and proactive with every part of the process. Very thorough and easy to deal with.
St Aloysius Catholic Primary School - November 2020Easy to find and book speakers. Much easier than contacting authors individually as many do not answer anyway.

St Francis Xavier - August 2020I was very impressed with the way Speakers Ink worked so hard to ensure we had Speakers for our Book Week this year. After a last minute cancellation by who we had booked in, Sandie worked very hard to find someone who would do a great job and she chose very well for us. Thanks very much to Sandie and the team.
Warrigal Road State School - August 2020Given the Covid situation, Sandie was very understanding and accommodating when having to change arrangements a number of times without compromising the cost and booking. Her flexibility was much appreciated.

Bulloo Shire Council - May 2018We 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 to borrow books, more students are writing stories. I would definitely recommend David Burton, Josh Donellan, Kathy Hoopmann, James Moloney, Giulio Saggin, and Edwina Shaw to anyone looking at having authors present for their Secondary students.
I spoke with Sandie Fraser regarding all communication with Speakers Ink. Sandie went above and beyond to answer any and all or my requests or questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Sandie offered guidance and suggestions as to who would be suitable for our Secondary students, and WOW was Sandie ever right! Our students, staff and Community members were entertained, engaged and inspired.
