476. Kim Warner and Her Substack-started Memoir, Unfixed

In this episode of Simply Write, Polly talks with author and filmmaker Kimberly Warner about the unexpected path from private memoir to published book. Kimberly shares how she wrote her memoir, Unfixed, in just three and a half months, then tucked it away for two years before family encouragement led her to share it on Substack, where it found readers around the world. They discuss writing through illness, following creative intuition, embracing flexibility in the writing process, and why specific, embodied details help personal stories connect with readers. Kimberly also reflects on the life experiences that shaped Unfixed and the power of writing that reaches beyond the individual story to touch universal human experiences.
