Welcome to The Write Start podcast. I'm your host, Lisa Iannucci, and today my guest is Susan Hartzler. Susan is a full-time freelance writer and author who says that her journey as a writer has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. Honestly, I think like pretty much everything. Every writer can say that because it's that kind of a career, but I can't wait to hear about her journey and why she says that.
Now I'm going to shorten her bio a bit because it's extensive, and I'll let Susan talk a little more about her life. But her latest book, The Peace Puppy, a memoir of caregiving and canine solace, published by McFarland Publishing, explores the profound impact of canine love Companionship as a rescue dog named Baldwin instinctively assumes the role of interim caregiver to his caregiver owner and her ailing father. Her debut memoir, I'm Not Single, I Have a Dog, Dating Tales from the Bark Side was also published by McFarland Publishing. She has a thriving career as a freelance writer, specializing in dog-friendly travel and lifestyle content.

Welcome to The Write Start Podcast. Iām your host, Lisa Iannucci. Happy 2025 and Iām starting this podcast off on the right foot. Today my guest is actor/producer, SEAN KANAN and his wife MICHELE KANAN. Sean you know either from Netflixās COBRA KAI (one of my favorite shows), CBSās The Bold & The Beautiful, the original Karate Kid, his Emmy-winning role on Studio City, or any of his other film/TV credits).
Michele Kanan is an Emmy-winning producer, writer, and director. She has produced several films, including Darkness of Man starring Jean-Claude Van Dam, 'Til Death Do Us Part, and the sci-fi film Colonials, starring Greg Kriek. In 2021, Michele won an Emmy for OUTSTANDING DIGITAL DRAMA for STUDiO CiTY (streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Roku), which has received over twenty Emmy nominations.
Together and the reason they are talking to me is because they co-authored the book WAY OF THE COBRA COUPLES which is not their first book. We dive into that book and the others, Seanās interest in writing, how they worked as a team to write a book, and more, and yes, they do provide some relationship advice for the new year.
Now I have to admit that for some reason I found myself a little loud at the beginning of the interview. I must have been exciting to do the interview! But I do settle down after a little bit. I hope you enjoy the interview too. Letās get started!

Just so you know I was not paid for this interview nor am I paid when you sign up for FLX, but trust me it's very affordable.

This podcast is where you learn how to navigate a freelance writing career and how to make more money. Maybe you are just starting and want to understand how you can be a successful freelance writer or you want to take your current career to the next level. On The Write Start podcast, I provide advice and suggestions delivered by myself and other experienced writers. Itās the right time for the write start.
In case you missed it, here is the link to the essay by Nicole Brinkley that I mentioned on the show, here are 24 things publishing should change in 2024.

Nicole is a bookseller at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck New York, is a book reviewer, a speaker at numerous book conferences, and the co-host of the fun Novelstalgia podcast with the New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston.
In this episode, I talk about how the writing industry is hard and getting harder. Writers are facing lower wages, less rights to our work and laws that affect where and how we work.
I also talk about how important it is to use as many of the tools and resources that are available to help move the needle forward on your career. For me, one of those tools is Facebook. What works for you?I also talk about how the publishing industry needs to stop focusing on about social media numbers when deciding to take on someoneās book.
Finally, I share tips that come from my experience as a judge in a major publishing contest. If you're looking to submit your work to a contest, these tips might help!

(There were a few audio issues that I addressed and to fix them, I took out the original intro, so it jumps right to the start of the episode. My regular intro will return in the next episode!)
Welcome to The Write Start podcast. Iām Lisa Iannucci, and this podcast is all about becoming a successful full-time freelance writer. Iāve had a very long career where Iāve written for many local and national magazines and newspapers and written, co-written, and ghostwritten more than 25 books. This podcast is where I share the lessons ā both good and bad ā that Iāve learned and give you tips on finding more work and making more money. I also bring on amazing guests who have had successful freelance writing careers too. Letās get started!In this episode, I talk about what I've been doing over the last year. I thought I would have been back last July, but life took me in a different direction, and I needed to step back and regroup. I am brutally raw and honest about grief, anxiety, depression, and mental health in this episode because I think there are so many other writers going through the same thing. I'm sure you feel alone, and I don't want you to.
After that, I dive deep into better interviewing skills. I'm often told that interviewing is a strong skill of mine, and, to be honest, it wasn't always that way. So I talk about how I got there, what I do to make the interview enjoyable while still getting the information I need, and more.
I'm so happy to be back, and I would love to hear more about what you want to know. Follow me on Instagram, and please rate this podcast. It really does help. Thanks! And see you next time!
Before you go, I do mention Happy Planner a lot in this episode, including their stickers. I'm not an affiliate (yet) but I do suggest you look into their products. My name is Lisa, and I have a (Happy) planner problem.

On todayās episode of The Write Start my guest is Cindy Begel and I have to admit that I decided to do this episode purely for selfish reasons because this episode focuses on becoming a television and movie writer and not becoming a typical print journalist -- what I really focus on here. I still think that any writer can learn, and be inspired by, Cindy so I hope you'll listen.
Cindy Begel is a television writer-producer who has worked for the legendary Garry Marshall and Norman Lear. Sheās worked on many classic prime time hit shows, including some of my favorite TV shows ever -- Mork & Mindy, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Jeffersons, Head of The Class, Alice, and The New Leave It To Beaver. She has also written for The Martin Short Show, and Mamaās Family. She created/wrote all 52 episodes of the animated series The Kids From Room 402. She wrote feature films for Paramount and Universal Studios.
Cindy has some great stories to tell including her chat with Lucille Ball, dinner with Carol Burnett, making Robin Williams laugh and more!
