JKR to donate to Story Card, available to public in summer
UPDATE: Waterstone's has kicked off a new contest in relation to this news, that gives three lucky winners the opportunities to be published in the postcard book alongside Jo and the other authors. Find details right here!Last week, it was announced that JK Rowling will be one of thirteen authors writing a "storycard" on one sheet of paper. Each author's story will then be auctioned off at "What's Your Story?" on June 10th. The money raised will go to the English PEN and Dyslexia Action charities.
Just yesterday, a blog on The Guardian's website revealed that the stories will go on sale to the public later this summer. They will be packaged as a book of postcards and proceeds will also be given to the two charities.
We'll let you know more as soon as we know it. Thanks to Pruneau for the tip!

thats cool, first
WTF? News?
hmm, okay does that mean she is writing a story on one little sheet of paper? I guess we'll have to wait and see what this is all about...
I think that's nifty. good for her. :)
That sounds pretty interesting. Good way to raise money for charities! Its always good how JKR does this kind of stuff. It really shows she is a good person as well as a good writer.
Great for her!
That sounds really cool. I can't wait to read it!
That's cool. She has a really sad story because of all the hard times she's been through.
O nvm!
awesome. but it would suck to read only one sheet of her work instead of a whole zillion pages as usual.
i want it. If i was rich...lol....
That's interesting!
This is really cool. I wonder what she will write about. And I also think it's awesome that people can buy it later this summer w/out having to bid on it.
awesome :] i can't wait to buy the book!? I wonder what she's going to write about
!
Ooh, very cool!
Ooh cool. Good think JKR uses her excelent writing skills to raise money for charity, and like Dobbyroxmysoxs, this kind of thing shows that she is a good person, and since she was poor before, she knows how it feels to be like that :) so shes very generous when it comes to these things :)
I wonder what she will write about!!!
OHHH i cant wait! Going to charity as usual which is great for Jo. Thats one of her awesome qualitites. well the title is Whats Your Story so i thought it was gonna be like a mini-biography but im prob wayyy off....xD
Tho the really true hp fans, know allready everything of j.k. rowling's life before and after the hp had became big. I would need a book, as well of here life history??? The charty book must be about something else!!!
I can't read the terms & conditions because the background and the text are both white :s Does anyone know why this is happening/feel like typing them up for me?
