Jeremy McCarter, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Hamilton: The Revolution and the upcoming In The Heights: Finding Home, discusses how his time spent at New York Magazine and The Public led to an unlikely friendship with Lin-Manuel Miranda, how they joined forces to put together a book in 7 weeks, and which of Stephen Sondheim's rules for writing helped inform the process.
