WELCOME TO KIDZTALES BOOKS AND MORE!

 

Welcome to my new blog! For those of you that haven't been to my website, KidzTales, before I'm a children's author and the blog will mainly focus on children's writing.

I'll also post book reviews of children's books I've read. I love to review children's books so if you need your book reviewed, I'm your girl! Just email me a deb@authordebhockenberry. Please put 'review' in the subject line.I do this free since I feel it's unethical to pay for a book review. Anyway, I like to support other authors.

You'll also see author interviews on here. If you'd like a interview, just email me at deb@authordebhockenberry.com. Please put 'interview' in the subject line.

I studied at the Institute of Children's Literature and am a member of Write for Kids. Both offer fantastic courses that will help you down that bumpy road to publishing. I've self-published two picture books in the Hungle Bungle Jungle series and created one author planner. They are: Where Can We Have The Party?, Elves For A Day, and Daily Author's Planner.

I have worked as a reviewer at the now defunct Black Leaf Publishing in England. I was the Acquisitions Editor for Young Adult Books at 4RV Publishing and the Senior Editor for Saguaro Books.

What I love to do besides writing for children is reading and reviewing children's books and editing children's books. Besides that, I really love my movies, music, listening to audiobooks, and just reading. Almost everything else is listed on my profile to the right.

I live in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania with a cat I named Harry.
