Book News: Judy Blume

Yearling, 1970

Judy Blume is to release a new novel. It’s for adults and will be the first in ten years.

In a statement via her publishers, Alfred A. Knopf, Blume said, “I’m both thrilled and terrified, my usual feelings at this point. I’ll be hiding out this summer revising, my favorite part of the process.”

Her previous novels have exceeded sales of 80 million. Titles include Forever, Blubber and most famously, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret – this was certainly one of the books I remember reading when I was a teenager and so I shall be waiting with excitement.

The new book is yet to be titled and there is currently little detail on its plot but it’s “pure Judy Blume – about family, friendships, love and betrayal,” according to Ms Blume’s editor.

The new book is due for release in summer 2015.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
