About K. Joyner

My Story

Kelli Joyner (also known as K. Joyner), graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn
with a B.S. Degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering. She retired early as a Vice
President (VP) of Industrial Engineering from a Fortune 500, Atlanta-based company. Problem-
solving, effective leadership and strong written communications skills were the characteristics
that set Kelli apart from her peers, resulting in eighteen years of VP-level experience during her
close to thirty-six years in industrial engineering with the company.  As a writer, she was drawn
to great stories in both books and films as far back as she can remember and knew she wanted
to pursue a writing career at some point.

Her first book, Unimaginable Loss…Godly Transformation was released in August of 2023. It
is a memoir that recounts her childhood, her personal story of loss and includes a guided grief
journal.

In 2024, Kelli wrote two novels that are awaiting representation and adapted one into a
screenplay.

I Don’t Think So! is Kelli’s debut children’s book. She plans to expand it to a series, focused on instilling favorable social skills, kindness and self-confidence in young children.

Kelli resides in an Atlanta suburb, along with her husband. They have two young adult children.
