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 DotsTales. 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

Dear Huria, It is tough to publish a book, so you might like to start with a shorter story. Here is a Storyworks Jr. Contest that you might like to try. It would be great fun if you'd like to write a short article or tips to put in the next MerStyle magazine. Two girls have already send things in. You could make a short story if you'd like and send it here with a parent or guardian's permission to publish it. Or you might just like to write for fun! Best, Debbie

The Lost PrincessDear Huria, It would be fun to write another book about a mermaid coach. I'm busy writing a different book right now, but you never know! Maybe you could write it!
     Samantha, I am thrilled that you are enjoying The Lost Princess.  Sometimes I think I'm a bit like Shelly. I like to play sports, but I also like to dress up like a princess sometimes! Did you know that there are actually 18 Mermaid Tales books now? You can click here and it will take you to a list of them. Click on the titles and it will tell you more about each book. I hope you like them! Have a super duper Wednesday, Debbie

Dear Duffy, I don't get the riddle. Tessa, I'm so glad you Mermaids Don't Run TrackFairy Chaselike Fairy Chase. I hope third grade is awesome for you!
     Huria, Mermaids Don't Run Track is already published, so I can't add anyone to it. But guess what? There are a few games on my website's Kid's Club page. Here's some for the Bailey School Kids books and here are some things to try for Mermaid Tales.Thanks for the great story idea. It would be fun to come to your school. Ask your librarian or teacher about it. Have a good day, Debbie
