MEMOIRS

My first bestselling memoir was my own story about surviving cancer as a young mom. As a ghostwriter, I help extraordinary people share their extraordinary stories. 

"Joni Rodgers is a pure storyteller. She writes with a wit, lyricism, humanity and joy that make her books impossible to put down."

FICTION

As a novelist, my goal is to engage readers with stories that matter. As a ghostwriter, I adapt screenplays to novels that give a great story a blast of fresh traction. As a plot whisperer, I help talented authors climb technical and creative mountains to deliver top-flight manuscripts on deadline.

"Rodgers' strength is a knack for realistic characters and a womanly wise, laugh through tears appreciation of life."

NONFICTION

As a developmental editor and ghostwriter, I help my clients combine story and message, engaging readers with compelling content and page-turning style.

"Joni Rodgers helped me build a vehicle for my vision and opened my eyes to what I'm capable of on my own."
