JK Rowling is writing again, will be writing her first novel for adults

Just because JK Rowling is done with Harry Potter and has made a gazillion dollars from it, it doesn’t mean she’s writing. She announced today that she’s currently working on her first novel for adults, but didn’t offer any details. I just hope it’s an “adult” novel and not just a novel for grown-ups if you catch my drift.

“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,” she said, in a statement.

“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.”

Little, Brown’s David Shelley said the company were “thrilled, honoured and proud” to be publishing Rowling’s latest novel.

“For me, quite simply, it is a personal and professional dream come true to be working with JK Rowling.”
