Ghostwriter
Joey Robert Parks

Under my pseudonym, Joey Robert Parks, I've ghosted 30 nonfiction books spanning memoir, business, legacy, and big-idea thought leadership. My name is Rowan Quinn.

 

From a former FBI cyber-security agent and advisor to Pope Francis, to the founder of a national healthcare initiative, an abstract painter and former $10,000/night escort for Saudi Arabian royalty, and a sports-franchise owner and philathropist.

​

I’ve also worked closely with a wide range of professionals beyond those projects, including principals at one of the nation’s leading advertising agencies, a top mortgage broker, an insurance professional, gay actor/producer, and individuals seeking to preserve deeply personal life stories under extraordinary circumstances — including a memoir completed for a woman facing terminal spinal cancer with only months to live.

​

I’ve helped seven authors secure literary agents and traditional publishing deals, and one of my ghostwritten books led its author to sign with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and secure a television showrunner — a past president of the Producers Guild of America — within weeks of completion.

​

I write in your voice—but like you sound when you're at your best.

​

Clients come to me when their ideas are strong but their words fall short.

 

Or when they don't have the time or bandwidth to write a book.

 

Or because they don't know where to start, or where to end, or how to choose what stories to include.

 

I listen deeply, write clearly, and make the process feel like an intentional, enjoyable conversation. Whether you're building a personal brand or leaving behind a legacy piece, I’ll help you shape it with empathy, clarity, and impact.

I bring 20+ years of experience in traditionally and self-published ghostwriting, editing, book proposal and query development, and can advise, coach, or handle self-publishing from idea to finished product. You'll get a collaborator who’s intuitive, fast, and deeply committed to making your story resonate with your audience.​​​​

CLIENT RECOGNITION

"Joey did not have much exposure to law enforcement before we first met. After a couple years listening to my stories and helping me put this book together, he now has the equivalent of a doctorate in policing. This book would not have been finished if it weren't for Joey and his skills.”

​

— John Iannarelli, former FBI Special Agent, head of Arizona Cyber Security, advisor to Pope Francis, FBI national spokesperson

“You captured the essence of who I am as a woman and where I’m headed with my career.”
 

— Abstract painter who asked my help with her partially written memoir and the desire to be published traditionally, I completed her book and taught her to find a literary agent. She signed with an agent and publisher in less than a year.

“My heartfelt thanks go to my talented ghostwriter, Joey Robert Parks, without whose expertise this idea would not have found its place on the pages of “Lost in Time”.

​

— Jack R. Bialik, veteran engineer and CTO with a career spanning broadband technology, systems engineering, and national security programs

“This is tremendous, Joey. You’ve made me sound as I actually am. I’ve very pleased with your work.” 

 

— Nationally respected, bipartisan former senator and Senate president

"Thanks for adding the sparkle to our little story. You did a great job."

​

— Lori Losch, Children's Book Author

"Anyone who worked on a project with this level of excellence, I need to work with."

 

(Said to a bespoke fashion stylist for whom I'd ghosted a coffee-table book about how a man should dress, featuring stunning professionally photographed celebrities and athletes by photographer Michael Woodall. Years later, I'd also write Michael's website biography.)

— Philanthropist and Entrepreneur, owner of two professional sports franchises, a music studio, and other entertainment businesses.
