Hi! Deb Gonzales here. I’m a children’s author, career educator, and marketing strategist who has spent years crafting resources that connect people with literature in meaningful ways. As the founder of Guides by Deb, I’ve created over 400+ standards-aligned educator guides for some of the finest books in the business. And as the founder of Pin Lit Marketing, I now help book creators harness the power of Pinterest to expand their reach and keep their books discoverable for years to come.

My expertise in education, curriculum development, and book marketing strategy makes me uniquely qualified to help authors, illustrators, and publishers boost book visibility—whether through standards-aligned guides or Pinterest strategy. With an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, I understand the literary world from both the creative and business sides.

If you’re looking for high-quality, affordable, project-specific supplemental materials or a marketing strategy that keeps your books discoverable, let’s talk!

Capturing the Electric Moment: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Legacies

Visuals can create empathy, inspire creativity, cause self-reflection, and spark action. They can provide thoughtful contemplation or visceral reactions. They can link past to present and human to human, bridging eras and divides such as culture, age, race, and gender. Those connections can lead to inspired, meaningful research and writing. Using visual imagery is an exciting way to jump-start student writing, whether fiction, nonfiction, poetry or journaling.
