How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm who publishes them now

    Authors move between publishers, so before you send, check that Ted Chiang is still published by Alfred A. Knopf (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 Alfred A. Knopf

    First line: Ted Chiang. Next line: c/o Alfred A. Knopf. 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 Ted Chiang at Alfred A. Knopf.

  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 Ted Chiang's fan mail address?

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

Will Ted Chiang 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 Ted Chiang'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 Ted Chiang 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 Ted Chiang 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.
