Joni Sweet's Successful Writing Career

Welcome to the latest edition of The Write Start Podcast. I'm your host, Lisa Iannucci. I'm a successful freelance writer and have written, ghostwritten, co-written and contributed to more than 30 books. And I'm here to help other writers achieve the same success. 

Today, my guest is Joni (pronounced Johnny) Sweet. Joni has been a full-time freelance journalist and writer since 2018 (after spending years working full-time in editorial and content strategy and moonlighting on her freelance business). Her work has been published by National Geographic, Forbes, TIME, Real Simple, Lonely Planet, Health magazine, SELF, Yahoo, and dozens of other publications. 

Her book “48 HOURS: New York,” has been published in multiple languages. Lonely Planet also commissioned Joni to contribute to its hardbound book, “Wellness Escapes.” 

She's appeared on several podcasts, including We Earn Media, Coffee With a Journalist, The Offbeat Life, and The Frommer's Travel Show. You can learn more about her at her website, https://www.jonimsweet.com. 

Today, Joni talks about the ups and downs of her career, how she writes content for major medical companies and how it has led to her success today.
