Book News: Judy Blume

Yearling, 1970

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 in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
