How to send your letter
- 1
Confirm who publishes them now
Authors move between publishers, so before you send, check that Colson Whitehead is still published by Doubleday (part of Penguin Random House) — see the sources below. If they've moved, address your letter to the new publisher instead. Some authors also list a preferred contact or agent on their own website.

Write your letter
Keep it to paper. Publishers forward reader mail but won't pass on cash, gifts, or valuables, and most ask you not to send books or items to be signed. Add your return address if you'd like a chance at a reply, though a personal response is never guaranteed.

Common questions
What is Colson Whitehead's fan mail address?
Colson Whitehead, c/o Doubleday, 1745 Broadway, New York, NY 10019, USA. Letters go to Doubleday, Colson Whitehead's imprint at Penguin Random House, which forwards reader mail to its authors — not a home address. Confirm Colson Whitehead is still published by Doubleday before mailing.
Will Colson Whitehead read my letter or write back?
Maybe. Publishers pass reader mail to their authors, but best-selling writers receive far more than they can personally answer. Include your return address to give yourself the best shot at a reply or a signed bookplate, but treat a personal response as a bonus, not a guarantee.
Is this Colson Whitehead's home address?
No. This is the public head office of their publisher, Penguin Random House. We never publish authors' private home addresses — mailing someone's home would not be okay. Routing fan mail through the publisher is the standard, expected way to write to an author.
Can I send Colson Whitehead a book to sign or a gift?
Better not to. Penguin Random House — like most publishers — asks readers not to send books, photos, or items to be signed, and can't forward parcels, gifts, or cash. A letter is the surer bet; PostPal sends letters and printed documents, not packages.
How do I mail Colson Whitehead a letter without a printer?
Write or upload your letter to PostPal with the address prefilled. We print it, add your return address, and mail it for you — no printer, stamps, or post office trip needed.
