J. K. Rowling joins Twitter
J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling has joined Twitter, signing up for a verified account with the social networking and micro-blogging platform.
The British author joins other science fiction and fantasy writers such as Kevin J. Anderson, Brandon Sanderson and William Gibson, who all use Twitter to various degrees. William Gibson has become a prolific Twitterer over the past six months.
Rowling has only made three posts on the service so far, writing:
“I am told that people have been twittering on my behalf, so I thought a brief visit was in order just to prevent any more confusion!
However, I should flag up now that although I could twitter endlessly, I’m afraid you won’t be hearing from me very often … as pen and paper is my priority at the moment.”
The author is not following anyone on Twitter, although more than 60,000 Twitterers are already watching her every move.
Rowling is known to currently be working on several books after her completion of the seven book Harry Potter series, including a ‘political fairy tale’ for children and another book for adults.
