| | |  J.K. Rowling writes new novel for adults, more details to come later this year
Little, Brown Book Group and Little, Brown and Company announced today that author J.K. Rowling's next venture will be an 'adult book', though no specifications have been given at the time. The title, the date for the worldwide publication and further details will be released later this year. Rowling commented on her new title, and moving on from the Harry Potter series, in a press release from the publisher's house.  Quote:
"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."
UPDATE: J.K. Rowling's website has thus been revamped to reflect the new book release; those who are interested in more information can sign up here.  | |

People are going to speculate about her using a different publishing company. They're going to wonder if there's more to the story than she's letting on. But I seriously can't wait to hear more about this!

I'm happy that she's writing a new book, but at the same time I'm also kinda sad that she is.  Like... REALLY REALLY moving on from the HP era D:

Another waiting game! J.K. Rowling is really testing us. Can't complain I'm so excited! Its been 5 years since Beedle right? Only thing I don't like is her changing of publishers. Little, Brown is quite relaxed in their editing. Hope her editor improved.
Whos ready to navigate around jkrowling.com again?

Hey jk_rowling just tweeted Quote:
As you may have heard, I have a new book out later this year. Very different to Harry, although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much.
The new book will be released LATER THIS YEAR?!
I was expecting it in two years. but in 2012? Wot? I'm more excited now!
