Set sail on an adventure of colour, creativity, and imagination with an interactive series of workshops from one of Australia’s most enthusiastic young authors and illustrators.

This site will tell you all you need to know about the exciting school author visits offered by Dr Cameron Stelzer. Click on the menu to the left to discover the range of workshop activities, check for available dates and learn a little more about the author and his publications. The Frequently Asked Questions section provides essential information when planning an author visit.

Over the past few years, Cameron has visited over 170 schools throughout Australia and in 2009 your school has the opportunity to participate in one of the most informative, entertaining and best value author programs on offer. Cameron has worked in state and private schools, metro and regional schools, with ESL students and indigenous communities, in schools with over a thousand students and in schools with only a dozen students. Follow the links to view the full List of Schools Cameron has visited or read Testimonies from teachers.

Cameron works at the ‘grass roots’ level with children to capture their imagination and offers a number of different workshop activities with the aim of including the whole school. Cameron's books and workshops are particularly motivational for reluctant readers (especially boys)!

With more energy than the Energizer Bunny, Cameron will inspire and entertain your classes with his exciting book readings, big screen presentations and action rhymes, bring new characters to life through his illustration demonstrations, reveal the behind the scenes secrets of how a book is made and work with students to brainstorm and plan their own stories.
