Rachel was excellent - we were so delighted to have her visit our school. A thorough professional, she was prompt, organised and kindly flexible when we had to change venue at the last minute. Her energy for storytelling is infectious, and as she read aloud, wriggly kids transformed into spellbound kids.

Brisbane Boys' College - August, 2026

Rachel was entertaining and engaging, tailoring each presentation to the audience in front of her and providing opportunities for student choice throughout. She generously shared her writing process and gave students insight into how her own life experiences and interests have shaped her stories. Her presentations were engaging, authentic and inspiring for our students.

Somerville House - August, 2026

Rachel engaged our students from year 3 to year 8 with stories and books. The students were captivated with her interesting anecdotes about character and how to make stories entertaining. Rachel shared writing tips with teachers to support writing short stories and she took our year 8 students through ideas to help them write stories for a particular purpose.

The Lakes College - August, 2024

R.A. Spratt captivated our Year 4, 5 and 6 boys as part of her tour. We were lucky enough to secure her this year as part of our Book Week and she didn't disappoint. She shared valuable insights into her writing process, read excerpts of her latest book, 'Hamlet is Not Ok' and interacted with our young audience with enthusiasm keeping them entertained the full hour! I recommend this speaker to any primary school.

Ambrose Treacy College - August, 2023

Rachel was engaging and energetic - our students loved her author talk. Her book readings had her audience captivated and definitely encouraged her books to fly off our shelves!
