In conversation with Brooklyn-based Dan Jones, bestselling British author and collaborative writer. Dan’s written over 20 books, with Gin: Shake, Muddle, Stir selling over 200,000 copies, translated into a dozen languages.

Longlisted for the Curtis Brown First Novel Award, Dan contributes to The New York Times' Wirecutter and specializes in everything from cocktails to fashion, interiors, travel, wellness, mythology, and LGBTQ culture.

With irreverent, well-informed takes on the writing life and the fast-paced bookish scene in NYC, you can find Dan giving The Washington Post hot takes on Princess Di’s style, in flow-mode at the Center for Fiction’s Writing Studio, or, like all the literary greats, at home with a beer watching Just like that.
