How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm who publishes them now

    Authors move between publishers, so before you send, check that Michael Ondaatje is still published by McClelland & Stewart (part of Penguin Random House Canada) — 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 McClelland & Stewart

    First line: Michael Ondaatje. Next line: c/o McClelland & Stewart. Then the publisher's address: 320 Front St W, Suite 1400, Toronto ON M5V 3B6. That building is Penguin Random House Canada's office, which routes the letter to Michael Ondaatje at McClelland & Stewart.

Common questions

What is Michael Ondaatje's fan mail address?

Michael Ondaatje, c/o McClelland & Stewart, 320 Front St W, Suite 1400, Toronto, ON M5V 3B6. Letters go to McClelland & Stewart, Michael Ondaatje's imprint at Penguin Random House Canada, which forwards reader mail to its authors — not a home address. Confirm Michael Ondaatje is still published by McClelland & Stewart before mailing.

Will Michael Ondaatje 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 Michael Ondaatje's home address?

No. This is the public head office of their publisher, Penguin Random House Canada. 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 Michael Ondaatje a book to sign or a gift?

Better not to. Penguin Random House Canada — 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 Michael Ondaatje 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.
