JK Rowling is Writing a NEW Book... For ADULTS



Today it was announced by Little, Brown Books that JK Rowling is infact writing a new book. What will it be is the big question. Not only is she with a new publisher (Little Brown/Hachette rather than Scholastic), but this new book is headed a new direction. Harry Potter fans may be disappointed, but it will not be a prequel, sequel, or in any way connected to the Harry Potter world. This time around she is writing for a more adult crowd.

“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series,” Rowling said, “The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me.”

JK Rowling is staying very tight lipped on the subject matter, plot, or characters that we have yet to experience. Even the title and date of release have not been released.  As for me, I am certainly routing for her to have great success in her newest venture. She has an amazing talent for storytelling and intricate plots. Congrats to her and her newest book deal. I am sure we will all be waiting with baited breath until we learn more.

As soon as more details are released, we will certainly be posting them here!

I wondered if she would write something new after having such success with Harry Potter. I can't wait to see what this next one will be!
