School Visits, Library Events, Book Fairs and Festivals?
Yes!

I adore my young readers and I’m eager to meet them!

I am a warm and inspiring speaker who loves to engage and motivate young readers and writers. I was a national award-winning education journalist before becoming a novelist and schools are my second home.

My novels, all published by Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Random House, are often used to teach writing (Brave Writer, etc.) and have appeared on multiple state reading lists, including CT, OK, SC, GA, WY, KY, ME, KS, TX. I am the recipient of the ALA Schneider Family Book Award and am a Parents’ Choice Silver medalist.

MY SCHOOL VISIT PROGRAM

Over the last 20 years I have spoken in all venues – small intimate classrooms and libraries, large auditoriums and gymnasiums, and independent bookstores and literary festivals.

I have been a ONE BOOK ONE COMMUNITY author and a Scholastic Book Fair speaker. I am happy to work with you to create a program that fits your school’s unique needs. References available upon request.

Please contact Lisa McClatchy, Author Appearance Coordinator, Random House Children’s Books, at liske@aol.com, for more information and to book a visit.

Copies of my books can also be ordered through Ms. McClatchy.

Additionally, I give a select number of free virtual Q & A visits to classrooms that use my books in a significant way. Please contact me directly at knf@kimberlynewtonfusco.com and let me know how you are using my books!
