This morning, J.K. Rowling announced on Twitter that she will be releasing an unpublished manuscript online, chapter by chapter, every weekday from today through July 10.
“The first two chapters of The Ickabog will be going live in a couple of hours time. Whether you read it yourself, or have it read to you, I hope you enjoy it,” Rowling tweeted.
The Ickabog is a standalone fairy tale and has nothing to do with the Harry Potter universe, according to the bestselling author, .
Not only that, The Ickabog will be traditionally published in November, and Rowling is conducting an international competition for children to illustrate it.
