John Edwards. The man needs no introduction. John J. Edwards III, on the other hand, could probably use a better one than the following: A news and media editor at the Wall Street Journal and an all-around bon vivant with more panache than you could shake a stick at. (Seriously, just look at that picture. What class.) On the next page, Edwards III takes a bite out of his desk and attempts to convince us that the Journal does have a "funnies" page.

This damn city is stinking with writer types. Ink-stained wanksters are verily rolling out over the brim of this island. Should you be one, we present unto you literary agent Ginger Clark. When she's not busy playing with her pet chinchillas, Ginger is lusting after Roger Clinton and sifting through a pile of shitty query letters. After the jump, Ginger reveals that agents might pay attention to your work — if it didn't always suck.

The Gawker brain-trust is hard at work coming up with rare interview specimens like the blue-footed "freelance writer." We present one at the top of its class: Brett Martin. You can find him in the pages of the finest English-written publications being hawked on newstands today. Brett is also a Little Gray Book lecturer and he's even jumped out of a plane in the name of service journalism. If he had only landed on Graydon Carter's head, Brett would've done us all a favor.

When Warren St. John isn't busy immersing himself in foreign cultures like Alabama, he's a contributor to Styles section over at the Old Gray Lady. A man of polar opposites, indeed. His book, naughtily titled Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, is on the shelves in time for the start of the college football season. Warren lets his inner-redneck do the talking and also reveals a reluctant confession: weblogs are no different than print media. Really? Shit.

Recently, we looked around the mags and papers, and we realized what was missing: clearly, not enough people were being interviewed. To rectify the situation, we've employed our resident statistician Andrew Krucoff to conduct a daily interview with someone we love, hate, or don't know well enough yet but will love or hate very shortly.
