TESTIMONIALS
"Mr. Durbin's presentations are equally suitable for upper elementary, middle, AND high school. Everyone was enthralled. You could have heard a pin drop in the auditorium! Students, teachers, administrators, and parents were equally impressed. Every one of his books immediately got checked out from the library, and students are still asking for them."

"Tarpon Springs Elementary had the privilege and pleasure of having William Durbin present to our students. What an incredible experience! The children were completely engaged. Most of all, he has the children excited about reading."

"Mr. Durbin was one of the best author speakers to ever present at our school. He was equally at east with large groups as with small groups. He did several small group writing lessons that teachers and students alike still talk about today... he was truly mesmerizing and had the full attention of the children as well as the adults."

"He had a wonderful power point presentation that helped the students understand the history, and the anecdotes he provided were greatly enjoyed by the students. The content fits so well with our fourth and fifth grade curriculum that we plan to have him on a rotating basis to speak to those grades."

"Mr. Durbin has a teaching background-he understands students, their interests, their attention-and how to best utilize that understanding when interacting with them. Not only does Mr. Durbin give a presentation, he inherently teaches. He is a superb example."
