testimonials from teacher librarians

I’d love to visit your school, church or community group and chat about my children’s chapter books. If you’re involved in a mothers’ group or an after-school kids club, the talk can be tailor-made to meet your needs.

My books are aimed at readers in Year 2, 3 & 4, but are suitable for all primary school aged children. The Molly Greenwood Adventures series has proven to be popular with boys and girls alike.

For more information about the books click here.

Topics covered in a school talk include:

  • how I began writing

  • what my books are about 

  • a reading of the first chapter

  • an interactive lesson - “The Power of an Inciting Incident.” or "How to Write a Good Story."

I look forward to hearing from you.

“Our school was especially blessed to be the audience for Carmen’s first ever author talk. She was a natural! The students were engaged throughout the presentation and her storytelling talent was evident as she inspired and encouraged us all with her expertise and experiences. Carmen put a lot of time and effort into preparing activities that would help the students with their own writing, too. Students and staff alike were grateful for all of the ‘delicious’ tips and encouragement she shared on the day.”

“Carmen shares a genuine and relatable journey from her enjoyment of her own childhood books to writing her adventures portrayed in her Molly Greenwood series. She encourages her audience to consider that when they are confronted with rejection, as she has experienced, they should not give up but keep trying. All have something special to give and share with the world.

There was a good level of student involvement in her presentations. Students loved the stories she told. Teachers were inspired by her great teaching ideas for writing.

This teacher librarian was motivated to buy and read her books, then introduce her readers into Molly's world of adventures. It was also impressive to see the support resources available for personal development related to Carmen's books.”
