Alongside her travels, Paterson's appointment also included a monthly eBook series published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, detailing Paterson's views on "writing and literature for young people, the wonder and imagination found within great books, common questions novice writers ask, and [her] own personal experiences throughout her historic career."
