JK we missed you!!!
Here's what PM says:
The true deal of the day: Little, Brown has world English rights to the first novel for adults by JK Rowling, the company announced Thursday morning. Little Brown UK publisher David Shelley, Publisher will serve as Rowling's editor and Michael Pietsch will oversee publication in the US. All other details--title, pub date "and further details about the novel will be announced later in the year." Rowling says in the release: "Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world. The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life." Rowling was represented by Neil Blair at The Blair Partnership.
Wow, I did not know this! Thanks for this information, guess I had my head buried in the sand or something. I had no idea what she was working on, but I look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI was kinda hoping she'd write a new series about HP's son at Hogwarts, but I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! This news really cheered me up today. Funny how just the thought of a good book can do that! (Although my mind is so muddled that I had to stop and think: Wait, it's not April 1st, is it??)
ReplyDeleteLOL, no this is no joke, it's for real : )
