Back in March, we called upon you to
vote for our favorite author, J.K. Rowling, in the
Book Magazine 'Greatest Living British Writer' poll. The voting ended on April 30th and it has been announced that J.K. Rowling has won this honor and gathered
three times as many votes as the second place winner, fantasy writer Terry Pratchett.
Quote:
Christine Kidney, editor of The Book Magazine, said: "Our survey provides a fascinating insight into what the British public thinks makes a 'great' writer.
"It shows how a writer can connect with us, as if we were the only reader in the world, and it's why books prove to be such enduringly popular objects."
Winners included: 1. JK Rowling
2. Terry Pratchett
3. Ian McEwan
4. Salman Rushdie
5. Kazuo Ishiguro
6. Philip Pullman
7. Harold Pinter
8. Nick Hornby
