BLESSEDselling author E.N. Joy is the writer behind the five-book series “New Day Divas,” the three-book series “Still Divas,” the three-book series “Always Divas,” and the forthcoming three-book series “Forever Divas,” all of which have been coined “Soap Operas in print.” She is an
Essence
magazine bestselling author and has written secular books under the names Joylynn M. Jossel and JOY.

After thirteen years as a paralegal in the insurance industry, E.N. Joy finally divorced her career and married her mistress and her passion: writing. In 2000 she formed her own publishing company, where she self-published her books until landing a book deal with a major publisher. Her company has published
New York Times
and
Essence
magazine bestselling authors in the “Sinner Series.” In 2004 E.N. Joy branched out into the business of literary consulting, providing one-on-one consultations and literary services, such as ghostwriting, editing, professional read throughs, and write behinds. Her clients include first-time authors,
Essence
magazine bestselling authors,
New York Times
bestselling authors, and entertainers. This award-winning author has also been sharing her literary expertise on conference panels in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, as well as in cities across the country.

Not forsaking her love of poetry, E.N. Joy's latest poetic project is an ebook of poetry entitled
Flower in My Hair.
“But my spirit has moved in another direction,” she says. Needless to say, she no longer pens street lit. (Two of her street lit titles,
If I Ruled the World
and
Dollar Bill,
made the
Essence
magazine best sellers' list.
Dollar Bill
was mentioned in
Newsweek
and has been translated into Japanese.) She no longer writes erotica or adult contemporary fiction, either.
An All Night Man,
a collection of novellas to which she and three other authors, including
New York Times
bestselling author Brenda Jackson, contributed
,
earned the Borders Bestselling African American Romance Award.

You can find this author's children's book, entitled
The Secret Olivia Told Me
and written under the name N. Joy, in bookstores now.
The Secret Olivia Told Me
received a Coretta Scott King Honor from the American Library Association. The book was also acquired by Scholastic Books and has sold over one hundred thousand copies. E.N. Joy has also penned a middle grade ebook, entitled
Operation Get Rid of Mom's New Boyfriend,
and a children's fairy-tale eBook, entitled
Sabella and the Castle Belonging to the Troll.
Elementary and middle school children have fallen in love with reading and creative writing as a result of the readings and workshops E.N. Joy gives in schools nationwide.

E.N. Joy is the acquisitions editor for Urban Christian, an imprint of Urban Books, the titles of which are distributed by Kensington Publishing Corporation. In addition, she is the artistic developer for a young girls group called DJHK Gurls.
