J. K. Rowling Reads for Charity This August in NYC

Yours and my favorite author. J. K. Rowling, will be in New York City this August for a charity reading. Renowned writer Stephen King, who is a well known fan of the Harry Potter books, had asked her to do the reading to help support his new charity, Haven Foundation. This program helps performing artists who have suffered from illnesses or debilitating accidents that prevent them from working.

"I loved the stuff that she does, and I thought if we had her, we could actually make a huge amount of money for charities," Mr. King said in an interview. "I thought that we could actually fill a really, really large venue." (Radio City seats close to 6,000 people. )

In a statement Ms. Rowling said: "Stephen pretended to be in suspense about my answer, but frankly, this was easily one of the most enticing propositions ever put to me in an envelope."

The event will also help support Doctors Without Borders/Mdecins Sans Frontires, an international program that brings medical aid to disaster areas.

Tickets cost from $12.50 to $100 apiece. There will also be $1,000 family packages that include four orchestra seats and a signed book from each of the authors, including John Irving, who will also be in attendance.
