- Read Aloud Fun--Climb aboard #417 and jingle the brass to learn railroading lingo OR take a cruise on an aircraft carrier with Lt. Gutts and learn to talk like a fighter pilot. Newman promises lively, interactive readings, sharing fun production and illustration secrets (all ages)
- From Pen to Publisher--The writing process comes alive as Newman describes the research and editorial steps her manuscripts passed through to become books (grades 2 and up)
- The Inside Scoop--Where does Judy Sierra get her ideas? How does Steve Jenkins make his animal collages? A peek into the writing lives of famous children's authors taken directly from Newman's interviews with over 100 talented writers and illustrators (all ages)
- Writers' Workshops--Small groups of students join Newman for an in-depth look at writing, focusing on character, dialogue, setting, or voice (grades 4 and up)
| "Thank you for your wonderful one-of-a-kind multimedia story time presentation at Northridge Elementary School on behalf of their fundraiser with us. Everyone--the principal, PTA, parents, and children raved about your dual story time, "how-to-write" approach, and of course your delightful book, Jingle the Brass. I look forward to promoting more story time visits with you to all the other schools I work with." --Michael Troyan, Barnes & Noble Booksellers “Patricia Newman connected warmly with my students. She. . .encouraged them to share her love of language and writing.” --Sue Davis, teacher, grade 3 “Newman’s rapport and style puts kids at ease. They can see immediately this is an adult who sees a kid’s perspective.” –-Terry Minton, teacher, grade 6 Writers’
