Kelli Joyner (also known as K. Joyner), graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn with a B.S. Degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering. In 2000, she retired 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 thirty-six years in industrial engineering with the company. As a writer, she was drawn to great stories in both books and film 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 currently 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 into a series, focused on instilling positive social skills and self-confidence in young children, while igniting their imagination and sprinkling in a bit of humor.

In addition to writing, Kelli enjoys collecting miniature dollhouses and furniture, reading, traveling and having fun with her family.

Kelli resides in an Atlanta suburb, along with her husband. They have two young adult children who are both attending college.
