Contact Us
At McSweeney’s Publishing, we try to keep our whole operation small and personal and within close reach of our readers. To that end, our customer service e-mails are answered by some of the same people who work in editing our books and website, or deal with the day to day of getting all things McSweeney’s out to the literary masses.

A note about address changes:
Subscriptions purchased via the McSweeney’s online store are accessible in your personal account (unless you checked out as a guest). Whenever you return to the McSweeney’s store, just enter your login and password and you’ll be able to manage your subscriptions (and address changes) forever and ever!
If you subscribed or renewed through the mail, over the phone, or as a guest on our website, please submit address changes to custservice@mcsweeneys.net. We must receive your address change at least three weeks before the next mailing. Books are not necessarily forwarded to new addresses, so it’s best to get address changes in with plenty of time!
