Joni Rodgers lives, loves, and writes without a safety net. -Entertainment Weekly

A voracious reader from age three, Joni Rodgers wrote her first two novels as a young mom in the crucible of chemotherapy. She went on to become a bestselling author, book club darling, and sought-after ghostwriter. Now, thirty-three books into a stellar career, she collaborates on celebrity book projects via Zoom while celebrating life as a WIP at her home on a remote peninsula in Washington State.

Boxing the Octopus chronicles Joni’s unorthodox journey through the Badlands of the publishing industry and engages aspiring writers with quizzes, worksheets, and thought-provoking activities. A bracing mix of memoir and meditation, it’s peppered with laughter and delivers a swift kick in the creative pants.
