Talks & Workshops

Author Talks

Deborah’s author talks are informative, interactive and fun. With her teaching and TV background, she uses images, videos, storytelling and games, to explain the writing process, leaving them excited about books, reading & writing.

Writing Workshops for Kids

Deb leads kids through a series of fun activities to help them become better writers. They’ll explore the writing process from developing ideas, to planning outlines and creating characters and plots readers will love.

PD Session: Fun Activities to Get Kids Writing!

Deb will lead you through a series of fun and practical activities to get your kids excited about writing. She will address the 3 main interrelated strands of the National Curriculum: language, literature and literacy, so that students will gain a better understanding of how writers create exciting plots and characters. The session includes a 20-page handout of activities. 

Adults who'd Like to Write for Kids

Writing for children can be fun and rewarding but most of it is simply hard work and a lot of practice. Deb will take you through a practical, hands-on day of writing activities to hone the skills you need to write for kids.

From Teachers, Librarians & kids

Today’s visit by Deborah Abela was one of the best Book Week activities I have ever attended.

Yr 6 teacher, Wenona School, NSW

This was by far the best author visit the school has ever had. St Paul's School, Brisbane

It was great to see the students breathing in the enthusiasm and expertise of Deb. She is truly inspirational. I'll take many of her techniques back to the classroom.
