James Roy is a fabulous story teller. He had our year 7 & 8's enthralled. Staff and students enjoyed the day and we would welcome James back any time.

Our Prep students loved Serena. She read one of her books and conducted a drawing workshop. The students really enjoyed learning new techniques about how to draw characters with expression. Every one of them walked away afterwards with a smile on their face and some wonderful drawings. Serena has a lovely bubbly personality and was thoroughly entertaining and engaging.

Victoria was great with our students. She worked with them to build their ideas and to express themselves creatively. The students thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and she was very generous with her time when they had a lot of questions.

‘Jenni came to the Waikiki Storytelling Conference here. I plugged her into the Summer Fun program, and I distinctly recall Manoa's new gym (huge space with horrible acoustics) where 200 sweaty elementary school kids fell under her spell, completely hushed, caught in the web of story on her voice. It repeated in several small and medium sized tellings in that conference, and again this past tour, when we stayed at her house, went on her 'walking tour', and to several gigs. She just charms them. [...]

Susy Boyer did an interactive chalk pastel workshop with our class 1 and 2 children. I had been to a workshop with Susy in previous years at another school and thought of her instantly when organizing a drawing workshop with young children. Susy is very professional and teaches the children with a calm and patient manner. She was well received by teachers and children, who all got more than they were expecting from the workshop and I would be happy to use Susy’s services again.

Angela engaged the students with her presentation. They benefited from both her story-writing guidance and her advice about illustration.

Katherine was an entertaining speaker and our students enjoyed her presentation and workshop. I would recommend her and Speakers Ink, as both were professional, friendly, and excellent for our school.

We had Shane McCarthy in the Senior School and he was terrific! Shane worked with Years 7-10 English classes and thoroughly engaged the students. He also struck up many informal and enthusiastic conversations with both staff and students between classes. The English faculty were very impressed with the way in which Shane interacted with the students and got them thinking about their writing and viewing.

Giuseppe was brilliant! He got the students involved and really gave them a good idea of the story writing process.

The feedback has been great - so positive about the interactive nature of your presentation. You definitely won the staff over - they were full of praise about the way you approached the session and the kids loved the information about other authors, character development and being so interactive!

Extremely friendly and helpful. Organised and very easy process to book speakers.

Kristin was highly engaging with this age group while at the same time encouraging students to tell their own stories. I would definitely recommend her to other schools.

Morsi showed a contagious commitment and was an excellent communicator. His target audiences are without doubt teenagers and adults. Having Morsi at our school was very positive and eye opening! TheDanish People’s Party got more than half the votes in the last election in this region, so there are many prejudices against people with foreign backgrounds. Morsi’s presentations became very real when we the following Wednesday was visited by a class from Ellekærskolen in Aarhus where more than 80% o [...]

We all thought the session was brilliant and as you could see the children were thoroughly engaged.
