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
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." But one important element has
been settled: While the world waits for Pottermore and the Harry Potter ebooks,
Little, Brown promises they will publish "both in print and ebooks."
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.And story in The New York Times
