Anyone who purchases a ticket will have the opportunity to submit a question for the authors via email.
Rowling has also updated her Rumours section with news on the W.O.M.B.A.T. test we all took recently. Also the Rubbish Bin has been updated with her answer to critics about her last post on thin girls and lastly the F.A.Q. section in which she answers 'Is the plural of 'Horcrux' 'Horcri?'. With all this news, Jo also updated her diary to let us know of all the people who actually sent her paper and the trouble that she had with some 'house-elf.' Thanks Toni.
UPDATE: The event will take place over two evenings, August 1st and 2nd at 7:30 pm with readings by all authors. You can read more from the just released press release. Additional information is also available on the Simon & Schuster web site as well as Scholastic's web site.
