Hi! Deb Gonzales here.

I create quality, affordable, project-specific, supplemental materials connecting people with literature. As an educator and fellow author, I am skilled in navigating the needs of the educational and literary worlds.

The intent of this website is to showcase the incredible projects I've been privileged to participate in. Please contact me if you have any questions or desire to discuss a project you'd like to partner with. 

My debut picture book Girls with Guts: The Road to Breaking Barriers and Bashing Records (Charlesbridge, 2019) is the tenacious history of the female athlete from the first Olympic Games to present day, including the passage of Title IX.

Pinterest: On The Verge of Going Viral and Other Platform Basics


In this video, Pinterest Specialist Deb Gonzales analyzes the success of a Pinterest pin featuring a non-fiction picture book – IN THE CANYON – written by Liz Garton Scanlon. Deb presents the marketing strategies and tactics employed when the pin was first posted in July of 2019. The topics she explores in the video are listed below:

  • The Guides by Deb Pinterest platform was established just over 1 ½ years ago. The platform is loaded with fresh, relevant content uploaded monthly.

  • Audience-centric content is critical for success on Pinterest.

  • It is interesting to note that the rise in pin analytics have occurred during the Pandemic, a time when in-person book events are, basically, nonexistent.

  • Deb takes the viewer deep into the pin analytics to identify who finds the pin interesting enough to save to their boards – TEACHERS!

  • Deb presents a brief overview of how Trends effect pin popularity.
