Graydon Carter Has Written for Esquire (Esquire)
Even though iconic ex-Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter is technically a free agent now, it’s still a bit shocking to learn that he has penned a new editorial for the Hearst-owned Esquire. It’s the first story Carter has worked on since exiting Condé Nast earlier this year. “Somehow, some way, we were determined to bring Graydon in from the cold — and I’m thankful we did,” Esquire‘s EIC Jay Fielden told Page Six.
