Mail Policy

Fan Mail Window Is Closed
April 2012

Chuck Palahniuk is currently not accepting fan mail of any sort.  Please respect Chuck's wishes and the rules of this site and do not send Chuck a letter until he re-opens his next fan mail window. Doing so will only put your letter on the fast track to a waste paper basket.

Remember, this is Chuck we are are talking about. He is easily one of the most gracious people I have ever met, and he cares deeply about his fans. Therefore you can bet that he will be re-opening the fan mail again sometime in the future. When that will be, however, I cannot say. But Chuck has a close-knit policy with our website, so these windows will always be announced ahead of time.

Until Chuck designates what his next fan mail window will be, don't bother grilling us for a shipping address or the proper way to send mail. On the one hand, Chuck only accepts mail via his literary agent, Edward Hibbert. When Chuck is accepting fan mail, like always, we will have the full procedure and mailing address for Chuck's agent fully available on this site.

If it's a signed book you're after, your best bet is to either show up to a reading the next time Chuck's on tour (this will sometimes be up to three times a year!), or to check out our awesome affiliate, St. Helens Book Shop, a local Oregon store that Chuck signs books for. St. Helens accept orders for autographed Chuck books all the time. If you'd like your order personalized, it could take up to 6-8 weeks, depending on Chuck's schedule. Either way, St. Helens Book Shop will advise you of your order status and will be in contact with any customers about possible delays.

So as you see, Chuck makes himself available in many ways. And this website is the best way to keep track of them.
