Joylynn M. Ross now writing as BLESSEDselling Author E.N. Joy (Everybody Needs Joy).

I am the author behind the "New Day Divas," "Still Divas," "Always Divas" and "Forever Divas" series, all which have been coined "Soap Operas in Print." I am an Essence Magazine Bestselling Author who wrote secular books under the names Joylynn M. Jossel and JOY. My title, If I Ruled the World, earned a book blurb from Grammy Award Winning Artist, Erykah Badu. An All Night Man, an anthology I penned with New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Jackson, earned the Borders bestselling African American romance award. My Urban Fiction title, Dollar Bill (Triple Crown Publications), appeared in Newsweek and has been translated to Japanese.

After thirteen years of being a paralegal in the insurance industry, I divorced my career and married my mistress and passion; writing. In 2000, I formed my own publishing company where I published my books until landing a book deal with St. Martin's Press. As an award winning author, I have been sharing my literary expertise on conference panels in my home town of Columbus, Ohio as well as cities across the country. I also conduct publishing/writing workshops for aspiring writers.

My children's book titled The Secret Olivia Told Me, written under the name N. Joy, received a Coretta Scott King Honor from the American Library Association. The book was also acquired by Scholastic Books and has sold almost 100,000 copies. Elementary and middle school children have fallen in love with reading and creative writing as a result of the readings and workshops I instruct in schools nationwide.

I do freelance editing, ghostwriting, write-behinds and literary consulting. My clients include New York Times Bestselling authors, entertainers, aspiring authors, vet authors, as well as first-time authors.
