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!

Hi there, Pinterest Pal!

Welcome to The Book Club.

Today we’re introducing you to our featured author Amy Ludwig VanDerwater!

What sets Amy apart?

  1. Amy lived for a year in Denmark as a Rotary exchange student and then studied English and taught at SUNY Geneseo and Teachers College, Columbia University.

  2. Having been a notebook-keeper for many years, Amy writes (usually in black pen) in many places: at her roll-top desk, lying sockless in front of the heater, on her bed, or outside on a blanket or the flagstone path.

  3. Amy’s writing time is simply thinking time: daydreaming about a word or a line or a poem - lying on our couch, driving to a school, looking out the window at birds on a suet cake. So cool!!
