Joni Rodgers

Joni Rodgers is a New York Times bestselling author and EGOT ghostwriter, having worked with Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winners.

A lifelong voracious reader and compulsive writer, Joni grew up performing in a family bluegrass band and majored in theatre in college. She finished her first two novels while undergoing chemo for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 32. Both were published to critical acclaim and short-listed for several awards. Joni followed up with her bestselling memoir, Bald in the Land of Big Hair, which sparked a syndicated newspaper column, a robust public speaking side-gig, and invitations to collaborate on high-profile book projects and screenplays.
​
Joni has written 30+ books and several screenplays. As a ghostwriter, plot whisperer, and script doctor, she helps celebrities and other extraordinary people complete books and screenplays. She also writes her own novels and screenplays and mentors emerging writers and aspiring ghosts.

Joni lives on the beach in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, multimedia artist Gary Rodgers.
