Inspired by James Morris’ book, Coronation Everest, about Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on the summit of Mount Everest on the day of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, Winchester contacted James Morris by mail and said he wanted to become a writer. Morris curtly suggested that if Winchester wanted to write, he should stop digging rocks. Heeding this advice, he left geology behind. Morris acted as a mentor and editor to Winchester, generously offering weekly comments on his early efforts as a journalist.
