Dear Ash, Thanks for your apology. Aspen, I'm glad you like this page. It is for answering book and writing King of the Kooties questions.
Cantelow, I think stories about bullying are very important. In fact, I am working on one now. Sadly, bullying occurs at all ages in this world, even in government! I hope you'll take your idea further and make it into a story because it's a great idea. Here are some other books that touch on bullying. Thanks so much for sharing your idea, Debbie

Dear Huria, I recommend writing and rewriting on paper, then typing it on a device to send for a MerStyle magazine.
Francine, you are very lucky. I have to work hard to make my words appear on paper! Have a magical day, Debbie

Dear Ellison, Whoohoo! I love that you want to write your own stories and like the Mermaid Tales. Do you have a favorite? Have you seen the newest one, Fairy Chase?
If you look on my writing page, there are some activities, podcasts, and videos you might enjoy. Near the bottom of my writing page are some places you might like to try to get published. In yesterday's post I mentioned a way to get published in my upcoming MerStyle magazine. Hope this helps and have fun writing, Debbie

Dear Huria, here's a checklist of what to do if you'd like to write for a MerStyle magazine. Have fun! Best, Debbie

1. Write a short piece about the mer-world. It might be a list, fashion tips, or a paragraph about an ocean creature. You can even draw a picture. Read the existing magazines to get ideas. Each of them are based on books in the Mermaid Tales series, where you can get other ideas.

2. After you’ve made sure it is your best work, ask an adult to send it to https://www.debbiedadey.com/Contact/index.php. They must state their permission for you to send it and have it published. Only your first name will be published.

3. Remember that your work may be edited. That means the editor may have to fix spelling mistakes or take out some words to make it fit in the magazine. By sending in your piece, you agree to this.

4. There is no payment for being in a MerStyle magazine, but it can be a publishing credit!

5. Have fun!

Dear Jackeline, Perhaps you should try the Mermaid Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots Tales. I am sorry that Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots gave you a nightmare! I don't recommend the Bailey School Kids books for you, except maybe Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors.
Huria, good luck if you decide to do the contest. The MerStyle magazines are located on my Mermaid Tales page. This is the third one and it has Kaleigh's tips in it. I am honored that you would put me in your book! Thanks, Debbie
