An Author's Advice
| In our interview, Hamilton had several great pieces of advice for aspiring writers, including this one: "Send the story, or book out, then get started on the next one. Don't fret, and hover around the mailbox angsting over that one story. It's like a mother with one child -- you worry more. So have more literary children, that way when one is rejected you know that there are others out there, that haven't been."
