| | |  Arthur Levine talks J.K.Rowling
The Baltimore Sun has a profile on Arthur Levine, the US editor of the Potter novels. He talks about his working relationship with Jo Rowling. Quote:
"We'll have a good laugh about how off-base all the talk is," Levine says. "That takes the sting out of it. She'll say things like, 'I can't talk long because I have to muck out my sixth castle.' Even though she knows the things being said about her aren't true, it still hurts."
"Her process is to work very, very hard for a long time before she sends me the manuscript," he says. "At the point at which she's ready to send it to me, it's pretty polished. She's almost always aware of what she's doing and why. She rarely does anything unconsciously. She's a secure writer, very confident."
Arthur also emphatically denies claims that ' Order of the Phoenix' was under-edited.

Ick. I hate to give money to that paper... but it sounds like an interesting article. I probably won't get it though... but the mere thought... Yes, I hate the Baltimore Sun.

Sounds like a cool profile. I'm glad JKR can have a sense of humor about the mean rumors, but I'm sorry it hurts her feelings. Things like that are just wrong. Quote:
"Her process is to work very, very hard for a long time before she sends me the manuscript," he says. "At the point at which she's ready to send it to me, it's pretty polished. She's almost always aware of what she's doing and why. She rarely does anything unconsciously. She's a secure writer, very confident."
I really believe this about her. Quote:

OOTP was just fine!

LOL if the manuscripts are always "pretty polished", than why does it take so long to get the book to us? haha

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

This may sound stupid, but are the UK books actually different than the USA books?
