Hi there, meet Deb!

My journey into Pinterest marketing grew naturally from my work as an author, educator, and advocate for books. I don’t just know Pinterest—I know storytelling, and I understand how to connect books with the readers who need them most.

With a career spanning education, mentorship, and publishing, I’ve navigated the many facets of the literary world. As an educator, I’ve led schools and developed curriculum. As a mentor, I’ve guided aspiring authors at St. Edward’s University. As a writer, I hold an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and have published my own works. As a leader, I’ve championed authors and illustrators as an SCBWI Regional Advisor.

As the creator of Guides by Deb, I’ve written over 400 educator guides aligned with academic standards, ensuring books remain in the hands of those who champion them—teachers, librarians, and parents. My passion remains the same: connecting meaningful stories with the audiences that will love them.
