J.K. Rowling will be doing a public reading of her newest book, The Casual Vacancy, on September 27th in London’s Southbank Centre.  This will not be a midnight release party, as we have come to know from Jo, but will be at 7:30pm. She will also have a Q&A session with the audience and sign copies of the books at the event! Tickets for the event can be purchased here.

She is also set to attend The Times Cheltenham Literature Festivalon October 6th at The Centaur, Cheltenham Racecourse in the UK to discuss (and sign copies of) The Casual Vacancy.  To book tickets, £15 (£13.50 for Cheltenham Festivals Members,) please visit their website!

J.K. Rowling will be in conversation with documentary film-maker James Runcie, to discuss The Casual Vacancy. This unmissable event will offer Festival visitors a rare opportunity to meet one of the bestselling authors of our time.

Pagford is apparently an English idyll – but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.  In The Casual Vacancy J.K. Rowling has written a big novel about a small town, as a parish council election becomes fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations.  A storyteller like no other, she joins James Runcie for a rare appearance to discuss her writing.

J.K. Rowling will be signing copies of The Casual Vacancy after the event.  In order to allow as many audience members as possible to have their book signed, signing will be limited to one copy only.
