About

Joy Media & Marketing is made up of skilled marketers and designers whose passion is seeing authors and their books reach their potential.

We believe in lifting up real art made by real humans.


A librarian at heart, Amanda has been in business as a web designer and marketer for more than five years. With a head that thinks like a machine but talks like a normal human, Amanda is here to be your “guy in the chair.” The Alfred to your Batman. The Q to your 007. The Wade to your Kim Possible.

When not nerding out about techy things, Amanda sews and reads classic novels to her four children.


Our secret weapon, Char is a graphic designer with a stunningly polished, diverse portfolio and a work ethic forged in the fires of a Chinese-American home. She can build a brand from the ground up, and she doesn’t look at explosions.


Serena comes from the traditional publishing world as a former publishing director for small press Yorkshire Publishing. Her sense for blending tried-and-true publicity techniques with eye-catching new approaches is incomparable. 

She is passionate about changing the world one story at a time, and her favorite thing is curling up with some Lady Londonderry tea and a good book.


Programmer by day, but by night, also a programmer, Michael laughs in the face of technology. Then, like a wizard, he bends it to his will so that it serves the people it was originally meant to benefit. Michael has a strong hatred of subscription software, and believes that no program should be irreplaceable.
