McSweeney’s
Hamish Hamilton is proud to be the UK publisher of McSweeney’s. Often described as the world’s greatest literary journal, McSweeney’s began in 1998 as a literary journal, edited by Dave Eggers, that published only works rejected by other magazines. But after the first issue, the journal began to publish pieces primarily written with McSweeney’s in mind. Since then, McSweeney’s has attracted works from some of the finest writers in the world, including Denis Johnson, William T. Vollmann, Rick Moody, Joyce Carol Oates, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus, Susan Straight, Roddy Doyle, T.C. Boyle, Steven Millhauser, Gabe Hudson, Robert Coover, Ann Beattie, and many others.
Today, McSweeney’s has grown to be one of the best-read and widely-circulated literary journals. As a small publishing house, McSweeney’s is committed to finding new voices – Gabe Hudson, Paul Collins, Neal Pollack, J.T. Leroy, John Hodgman, Amy Fusselman, Salvador Plascencia and Sean Wilsey are among those whose early work appeared in McSweeney’s – and promoting the work of gifted but underappreciated writers, such as Lydia Davis and Stephen Dixon.
