About Gerald Weaver

Gerald Weaver was educated at Yale University, where he studied fiction writing under Gordon Lish, then the fiction editor at Esquire, and formerly Raymond Carver’s editor. He also studied literature under Harold Bloom, the renowned literary critic. Gerald has done just about everything there is to do on Capitol Hill and in Washington: he was a lawyer at a Washington law firm, a Chief of Staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, a lobbyist who owned his own firm, a political analyst at a major trade association, and a legislative assistant who began his career as an intern. He has managed Congressional campaigns, testified before the U.S. Senate, served on the steering committees of Presidential campaigns, affected federal legislation, managed a large state for a Presidential campaign and personally known many of Washington’s most important politicians, journalists and other figures.

Gerald has been quoted on numerous occasions in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Daily Variety, ABC World News Tonight, and many other publications and media outlets. Having written countless speeches, press releases, Congressional testimonies, political advertisements, legal briefs and lobbying reports, he was encouraged by his close friend, the Sunday Times foreign correspondent Marie Colvin to begin writing a novel. This was Gospel Prism, a draft of which was found in Marie’s luggage after she was killed in Syria. The First First Gentleman is Gerald’s second novel.
