“Insane in ye brain” – Charlie’s performance “The Shakespeare Session” was in a word, fantastic. The students and staff of Pacific Pines SHS enjoyed every minute of the engaging, informative and highly entertaining performance that explored the central themes of Shakespeare’s most famous and memorable works. With his catchy hip hop beats, raps about the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and the exploration of Macbeth – affectionately referred to during [...]

Prue Mason did a great writing workshop with the 4-7s using hats. The kids were busy the whole time and she left the worksheets for the teachers to continue using in the class.

What I think is important is that your ideas are successful with students and that you quickly engage them, they learn to trust your work, knowledge and feedback. I think your breakdown of teaching sequence is clear and easy to follow and you sell it in your presentations. The feedback from my Grade 5 class after today's workshop was very positive.

Very interesting, well presented, engaging workshop for children

I had the pleasure of working with Annaleise through the Author Pen Pals program, and I cannot speak highly enough of her engagement with the children. We were paired with over 130 Year 3/4 students in a library learning context. At all times throughout our ‘snail mail’ correspondence, Annaleise was swift with her lengthy, informative, humorous and regular responses. We were also lucky enough to have Annaleise visit our school for a day and engage with all students from Prep to Year 6. She broug [...]

Kellie was well prepared and engaging during her storytime sessions. She catered well to the audience ages and we enjoyed hearing her back story as well.

Extremely well-structured and thought-provoking, excellent use of props, highly relevant to today's energy-conscious world, Nij's enthusiasm was fantastic. It was obvious that Nij was having a great fun time, and in turn our students were thoroughly engaged.

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.

Amy Andrews appeared as part of the Be Still My Beating Heart: Writing Romance panel at the 2014 Byron Writers Festival alongside celebrity comedian Mandy Nolan. Amy was witty, engaging and informative. She has a wonderful sense of humour and a real skill in answering questions from the audience. Amy is passionate, dynamic and amusing. She presents with a refreshingly honesty perspective – authentic and genuine. We invited Amy to Festival after seeing her perform at numerous Romance Writers o [...]

What a fantastic day! Thank you so much for the excitement and amazing inspiration for both reading and illustrating that you shared with our class today. The children were totally engaged with your workshop and I have never seen such enthusiasm for books and drawing as I have after your visit.

Zena was personable and knowledgeable. She designed an immersive creative writing tour that inspired student's creativity and enhanced their writing skills. I would recommend her workshops for schools looking to inspire enthusiastic young writers in their schools.

Matt did a great job stimulating the boys’ interest in an alternative look at Brisbane’s past.
