Rowling, creator of the beloved <em>Harry Potter<\/em> series and subsequent film universes, announced her new book via Twitter today. It is a &#8220;stand-alone fairy tale&#8221; that she wrote ten years ago, titled <em>The Ickabog<\/em>. The book will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theickabog.com\/read-the-story\/\">free to read online<\/a>, published in installments of one to three chapters every weekday. The author also intends to donate author royalties &#8220;from the published books to projects and organisations helping the groups most impacted by Covid-19.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowling began her tweet thread with a cheeky disclaimer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I have a small announcement, but before I get started, I<br>want to head off one possible source of confusion.<br>********************************************<br>THIS IS NOT A HARRY POTTER SPIN-OFF<br>********************************************<br>1\/13<\/p>&mdash; J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jk_rowling\/status\/1265251349534474240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 26, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She adds that while <em>The Ickabog<\/em> was written around the same time as the <em>Harry Potter<\/em> series, she prioritized other projects after the wizardry wrapped up. The manuscript landed in a box in her attic until &#8220;a few weeks ago.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Opening the box was like opening a time capsule.

With encouragement from her family, she revisited and began revising <em>The Ickabog<\/em> for a serialized release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowling also tweeted that she wants <em>The Ickabog<\/em> to be illustrated by children. &#8220;I\u2019ll be suggesting ideas for pictures as we go, but nobody should feel constrained by my ideas. Let your imaginations run wild! The best pictures in each publishing territory will be included in the books we intend to publish in November 2020.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lastly, I intend to donate my author royalties from the published books to projects and organisations helping the groups most impacted by Covid-19.
