This is my second year at the Voices Festival. The students helpers were incredibly kind, informative and caring. My first session was with a group of students I had last year. They were even more enthusiastic, excited and passionate than I remember! Watching the Festival create space for young writers to grow has been a very beautiful experience. Being part of the Festival has been amazing! Thank you!

Thank you for bringing me back to this AMAZING festival! I’m always blown away by how receptive and keen the kids are and how we authors get to be Rockstars for 2 days! Thank you for another highlight in my writing journey and allowing the love and buzz of books to be in kids faces and through the impact of their schooling years. I’m sure you’ll see it over the years. Love and Light, Ollie
