Welcome!
​
Elyn Joy is a Denver-based author, speaker, and career educator. Her work has spanned various genres, with a focus on creating books and programs meant to teach, uplift, guide, and cultivate transformation.
​
Elyn is a seasoned Holocaust educator and has been the keynote author and speaker for Tolerance Week—a weeklong educational symposium based in Sioux City, Iowa. To an audience of over 2,000 students, teachers, and community leaders, Elyn shared her father's unique story using a multimedia, multi-discipline approach sprinkled with heart and humor. Elyn has worked with communities in Denver and beyond, developing curricula, books, and events fostering empathy and connection. She has written for magazines, blogs, and newspapers and served as head writer for an international thought leader with a vast readership.
​
Her recent book, Samuel in the Quantum Field, breaks the norms of typical YA literature by weaving memoir with science, sociology, history, and more. Elyn describes it as "a reading journey with built-in hyperlinks (no clicking needed)." The book was honored as a finalist in the 2024 American BookFest and is currently under review for Holocaust education programs nationally.
You may read more about it and Elyn in an exclusive author interview (published in Compulsive Reader) here.
​
Currently, Elyn is working on a legacy memoir for an international speaker, along with a children's book (follow up to Everyone Has a Point of View) and a young adult time-travel adventure.
