In light of recent events, from now until July 1, 25% of all sales of I Know What's Best For You: Stories on Reproductive Freedom support the Brigid Alliance's abortion travel services program.
Together again! Four issues of McSweeney's Quarterly, four issues of The Believer magazine, one can't-be-beat price.
Our first-ever McSweeney’s Internet Tendency e-book exclusive: Welcome to Woodmont College, out today from the minds of Mike Sacks and Jason Roeder.
McSweeney’s is an independent nonprofit publishing company based in San Francisco.
As well as operating a daily humor website, we also publish Timothy McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, Illustoria and an ever-growing selection of books under various imprints. You can buy all of these things from our online store. You can support us today by making a donation.

We are committed to our environment. Each year, we purchase carbon offsets commensurate with our estimate of the impact of the printing, shipping, and travel necessary to publish our books and magazines. We are continually working to minimize our impact on the planet by examining every business decision through a lens of sustainability. To support this effort, or to learn more, please write to executive director Amanda Uhle.
