But if Rowling is entering "a new phase" of her writing life, grateful booksellers can presume more than one book for adults is on the way. The book's title, publication date, and further details are being stored up for an announcement later this year. A spokesperson for the publisher refused to give any indication of what the book will be about or what its genre will be.
Apart from the fact that it's not written for children, Little, Brown is releasing very little information about the contents of the book.
Rowling's new publisher is proving as tight-lipped as her old one. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life." Rowling said of today's announcement: "Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series … The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. Unlike the Potter books, the ebook version will be available simultaneously with print. Other Hachette imprints will be responsible for publication in other territories.

Below is a snapshot of what happened when the books were first published. I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams just how popular my Harry Potter books would become and at times it was truly overwhelming. Each new paperback sold at 7 would be mean about 1 for Rowling. However, if she receives the industry standard 15 per book, she might have made approximately 1.15 billion, based on the series total revenue of about 7.7 billion. I’ve also tried to answer some of the questions I’m most often asked in the numerous letters and emails that I continue to receive from fans. Rowling’s pay for each Harry Potter book sold is not a matter of public record.
The short introductions here to each of the seven Harry Potter stories will give you a flavour of the adventures ahead of you. But what makes me happiest is that new readers, all over the world, are still discovering Harry Potter for the first time, today. And before that, I had been immersed in Harry’s world for nearly 20 years – since 1990, in fact, when the idea of a boy who doesn’t yet know that he is a great wizard first bubbled up in my brain. I finished writing the final Harry Potter book in 2007, which seems a very long time ago now.
