Lillianna Joy

As a young woman over 6’2” in height, Lillianna Joy has always known what it’s like to be afraid to stand up fully, especially after fighting a chronic illness throughout her childhood. Now, she writes YA contemporary stories full of relatable romance and deep themes for girls who are finding their voice. She wants to encourage them that their story matters—they matter—and inspire them to live courageously, despite the struggles they face. Outside of writing, Lilli spends her time as a barista, plays with her countless little cousins, and makes waffles while playing board games with her siblings.
