In this conversation, Kimmery shares her journey from ER doctor to novelist. Specifically, we discuss Doctors and Friends, but what really intrigued me about our conversation is Kimmery’s advice for aspiring writers. As a lifelong creative writer, I’m always curious about the process of becoming a published writer. I mean really published – by a big publishing house – not an online blog. I do the latter every week.
Friends, you’re going to love this conversation. Thanks so much for joining us – enjoy getting to know the author of Doctors and Friends, Kimmery Martin.
