| | | J.K. Rowling participates in charity storycard auction (UPDATED)
J.K. Rowling, and 13 other authors, have written on blank A5 sheets to create storycards, which will be auctioned in London, England to benefit English PEN and Dyslexia Action. The event, titled 'What's your Story?', sponsored by Waterstone's, will take place on June 10th. Quote:
``It's impossible to say how much this auction will raise,'' said Gerry Johnson, managing director of Waterstone's, in the statement. ``With the caliber of authors involved, then really the sky is the limit. Owning an original piece of work by a favorite writer is the ultimate limited edition for fans.''
The auction will take place at the Waterstone's in Piccadilly. The audience is restricted to invites-only. Quote:
``It's not going to be an anonymous process,'' said Jane Opoku, account director at the public-relations agency Colman Getty, which issued Waterstone's announcement. Opoku said the auction would be conducted by Sotheby's and that as yet no presale estimates were available.
Source: The Leaky Cauldron UPDATE: According to The Guardian all the storycards will be compiled into a book and made available for purchase. Quote:
However, the complete set will be reproduced as a book of postcards available to the common people later in the summer, proceeds also to charity. And much as it will be great to see the two beneficiaries getting a big windfall, I think the postcards collection has got to be the better deal.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
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. |
