Welcome.

McNally Editions is a publishing imprint devoted to the kinds of books that get passed between friends with a conspiratorial glint: stylish, subversive, exquisitely written, occasionally risqué. As the publishing arm of McNally Jackson Books in New York, we believe that often the most transporting reading experiences lie off the beaten path, waiting to be rediscovered, so we reissue overlooked classics and modern outliers—books that slipped through the cracks but still crackle with life.

Here on Substack, we’ll share the kinds of things you won’t find in a catalog: excerpts worth reading aloud, behind-the-scenes glimpses into the publishing process, and notes from our authors, editors, and friends. Think of it as the companion to our list: smart, seductive, and never too polished.

We’re glad you’ve found us.

Our titles are available in the U.S. and Canada wherever fine books are sold. Select titles are available internationally through our distributor.
