| | |  Writers to be published alongside J.K. Rowling announced
At the end of May we announced a contest by Waterstone's in which writers could win the chance to be published in a book alongside J.K. Rowling. Those 4 lucky winners have now been announced.
The What's Your Story competition asked that entrants write a short story on an A5 story card, to celebrate the launch of 13 story cards written by celebrities (including J.K. Rowling) and auctioned off to aid Dyslexia Action and English PEN. Waterstone's received 6,000 entries in total. The winners will now have their stories published in the same book that will contain those tales written to raise money by the famous authors. The book goes on sale next month, which features the James & Sirius prequel written by Jo, to aid the aforementioned charities.
The winners are;
Tessa Farlow of Bath Waterstone's for The Day a Robot Appeared in the Vegetable Patch
Gemma Laws of Waterstone's Durham for A Sense of Disappointment
Martin Kelly of Waterstone's Bradford University for Mr Darcy, We Hardly Knew Thee
Ellis Ni Raghallaigh of Dublin Jervis Centre for How I Met Your Father  | |

__________________ 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. | |
