How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm who publishes them now

    Authors move between publishers, so before you send, check that Lee Child is still published by Delacorte Press (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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Address it c/o Delacorte Press

    First line: Lee Child. Next line: c/o Delacorte Press. Then the publisher's address: 1745 Broadway, New York NY 10019, United States. That building is Penguin Random House's office, which routes the letter to Lee Child at Delacorte Press.

  4. 4

    Send it from anywhere with PostPal

    Write or upload your letter to PostPal with the address above prefilled. We print it, add your return address, and mail it for you — no printer, envelope, stamps, or trip to the post office.

Common questions

What is Lee Child's fan mail address?

Lee Child, c/o Delacorte Press, 1745 Broadway, New York, NY 10019, USA. Letters go to Delacorte Press, Lee Child's imprint at Penguin Random House, which forwards reader mail to its authors — not a home address. Confirm Lee Child is still published by Delacorte Press before mailing.

Will Lee Child 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 Lee Child'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 Lee Child 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 Lee Child 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.
