Welcome!
​
Elyn Joy is a Denver-based author, speaker, and career educator.
​
Recently, she spoke to 2,000 8th grade students, teachers, and community leaders at the Rail Museum in Iowa, conveying the unique story of her father's harrowing, yet hopeful, journey during the Holocaust. She has worked extensively with schools and museums, developing curricula and helping transmit themes of tolerance, understanding, and connection. She has written for numerous magazines, blogs, and newspapers as well as for an international thought leader.
​
Her latest book, Samuel in the Quantum Field, breaks the norms of typical YA literature by weaving memoir with science, sociology, history, and more. Joy describes it as "a reading journey with built-in hyperlinks!" The book was honored as a finalist at the 2024 American BookFest.
Read more about it in an exclusive author interview (published in Compulsive Reader) here.

Learning and teaching are among the greatest privileges granted in our lives. We all meet in the middle--between you and me, us and them, outer and inner experience. I am honored to do this work and to bring thoughts and stories into that shared, sacred space.
