Magda Szubanski was at the end of a long and grueling schedule of public appearances when we arrived for a luncheon event with David Reyne. We felt immediately that we were in excellent hands. David was warm, reassuring and extremely well-prepared. It was a difficult venue acoustically and the audience was split over two different spaces but David handled everything with ease. The audience loved the event and it was by far one of the best events that Magda had done to promote her memoir. The success of events like these are almost completely the responsibility of the interlocutor and we couldn’t have been in better hands. In twenty years of working with writers I haven’t seen many more capable or more professional than David. Literary Agent
David was very accommodating and professional to work, communicate and coordinate with, throughout the planning and running of the event. David had researched the subject extensively and had an emotionally intelligent understanding of subject and content. He was inquiring, but never probing. I believe the difference in having David conduct proceedings enhanced the event so much so, that we would like him to host all such events for us! MGWS
