His long career in politics taught him to research, gather and summarize vast amounts of information. Jones stumbled upon his first biography project by accident when he came across Washington Irving&#39;s writings on Christmas. He was intrigued and began querying agents even before he had anything written for his biography, Washington Irving: an American Original. For Jones, the key to a great biography is to write the book you want to read.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-75/Biographer-Brian-Jay-Jones-on-How-Washington-Irving-An-American-Original-Came-About.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Biographer-Brian-Jay-Jones-on-How-Washington-Irving-An-American-Original-Came-About.mp3</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Nonfiction, Subscriber, Biographies and Memoirs, podcast</div>
