JK Rowling gets the Edinburgh Award
September 19, 2008 by Wendy Boswell
JK Rowling must have a whole room full of these awards by now, right?

“It is an absolute honour to receive this award, as Edinburgh is very much home for me and is the place where Harry evolved over seven books and many, many hours of writing in its cafes.”
