Thank you for recommending Kyle for this year’s Literature Festival Day. It was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback from students and teachers.

CPS loved having Nadia Sundae visit. She kept the kids very entertained and the content was age appropriate. Nadia knows kids well and so gave a balanced performance - fun but maintaining control of the audience who can be excitable. Nadia was careful when talking about childhood imagination and mentioned controlling your imagination to not let fear take over or imagination to be distracting. We would love to have the wonderful Nadia in the future. Thank-you for your quality performance.

A.J.’s willingness to adapt on the fly and adjust her schedule was paramount to the success of the session. It was absolutely brilliant in terms of content and was perfectly tailored to their assessment task. As a teacher, I garnered insider tips and tricks to improve young students’ writing and the early feedback from some of my top students was fantastic. In fact, one teacher in the session already shared a writing task to the teaching team based on her presentation today. Thank you, A.J., for [...]

I just wanted to check in and thank you again. After having time to think and consider I just wanted to reinforce how much our students enjoyed your three days. All the conversations I have had confirm this. You did a great job appealing to such a range of ages and I appreciated the preparation you put in ahead of time. Your session has inspired the older grades who have not read Secrets yet to continue and use the text in their lessons. The students are interested in this and some have do [...]

He absolutely met expectations. Robert was wonderful!

Anna had the audience locked on to her presentation from start to finish. She unfolded a fascinating story of literary detective work, tracing the lives of her Polish grandmother and her family, and the audience couldn't wait for a formal question-and-answer period at the end – they threw in questions as the session went along, and she handled them brilliantly and honestly.

Kate’s visit to our school was a highlight of the year! Her presentation to our Year 6 kids kept them enthralled, as she interwove engaging and empowering stories about her journey as an author, her inspiration for writing books, and the writing process itself. Kate gave invaluable lessons about treating others with respect, and her message that, ‘We all have a story to tell!’ was particularly powerful for our students. Teachers and students haven’t stopped raving about the ‘author who loves dog [...]

So wonderful to view storytelling from an illustrator's perspective. Lucia was so enthusiastic and all the students participated in her drawing workshop with great energy and creativity. I would highly recommend Lucia as a celebrated and expressive presenter.

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.
