JK Rowling tweet tweaks Amazon.com, notes her upcoming Galbraith book can be bought elsewhere
NEW YORK, N.Y. – J.K. Rowling has added a subtle comment under her pen name Robert Galbraith about the standoff between her publisher and Amazon.com.
The “Harry Potter” author noted in a tweet Wednesday from @rgalbraith there are “lots of ways” besides through Amazon to order her upcoming Galbraith detective novel, “The Silkworm.”
Amazon is in a contract dispute with Rowling’s U.S. publisher, Hachette Book Group, and isn’t accepting pre-orders for “The Silkworm” and other Hachette releases.
Hachette authors James Patterson and Sherman Alexie and non-Hachette author John Green are among those who have strongly criticized the Seattle-based online retailer.
Amazon has suggested negotiations will be prolonged and customers in the meantime can buy Hachette books from its competitors.
