Testimonials
“Year 7 & 8 thoroughly enjoyed Gabrielle’s visit to Rye Hills Academy. She was very friendly and had a great sense of humour, the students were queuing up to meet her and have their books or bookmarks signed. Weeks later they are still buzzing about her visit and asking for her books in the school library.”
“I would definitely recommend you invite Gabrielle Kent to your school. Budget money well spent: 5 hours contact time with the students plus unlimited book signings, the students learned a lot about creative writing that day and we have had some very enthusiastic and positive feedback from them afterwards.”
“Students really enjoyed the assemblies and were encouraged to interact with Gabrielle and share their thoughts and ideas, she created a really positive and energetic vibe. They particularly loved her process for making up character names!”
