You can send JKR a card or letter of support by posting them to this address:

J.K. Rowling
c/o Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
50 Bedford Square
London WC1B 3DP
United Kingdom

It would be wonderful to see her inundated with personal messages of support. Mine's in the post.

Thanks for starting this thread. I have written a card and am about to put it in the post. I hope she gets to see it or at least hear that she is getting notes of appreciation.

This whole furore has shone a light on the charities to which she's donated and the people she has indirectly helped over the years. If only more used their wealth like this. She seems like a wonderful person.

Writing today...
Thank you @Shedbuilder and @TheRattleBag for the contact into.

@mum2jakie

I'm going to order a copy of the latest Cormoran Strike book to show my appreciation
Great idea - I’ll join you in that. Her books will also make perfect birthday/Christmas gifts for friends and family.

Do the proceeds of the “Tales Of Beedle the Bard” still go to a children’s charity?

@SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito thankyou, I kept writing til I'd filled the card ! I could have gone on and on and on.

Also, I love Sam Vimes, my fav Discworld character (he got a cheeky mention in an episode of Endeavour 💞)

I’ve just sent an email which, like someone else said, made me tear up. I will send a card tomorrow. Thank you so much for this thread. I’d be wanting to show solidarity with her and not knowing how. This has made me feel a lot better.

mogloveseggs · 12/06/2020 21:12

Have emailed.

Inmyownlittlecorner · 12/06/2020 21:05

Email sent.

oooompa · 12/06/2020 20:55

I've just sent an email.
I grew up with Harry Potter and her work has meant so much to me, she is such an inspiration to me, and the fact that she has spoken out to protect the rights of women, of my daughters, means the world to me.
Mumsnet and the wonderful Feminist Chat posters were mentioned too, of course, I hope she knows just how many people are with her.

ComeTheFuck0nBridg3t · 12/06/2020 20:09

Just sent an email!

Thanks for sharing that here.

TheChampagneGalop · 12/06/2020 19:43

Sent her a pretty thank you card. Hope she sees it.

I see I’m not the only one! Sorry - not reading properly

StandUpStraight · 12/06/2020 18:55

Card written ready for tomorrow’s post. Great idea. I have this image in my head of hundreds of envelopes flying through the post box and down the chimney. Wonder where I got that from. Smile

HermionesMom · 12/06/2020 18:47

Something else you could do if it hasn't been mentioned is donate to her charity., You can do it in honour of someone. Maybe Magdalen Burns?

CountFosco · 12/06/2020 18:32

I also sent an email and got a personal reply. Will send a card as well. Agree, love the idea of hundreds of letters flying through her letterbox 🦉🦉🦉

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 12/06/2020 17:28

Mine was also short and sweet, Social. I was afraid I'd never stop if I got started properly!

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 12/06/2020 17:22

That's very concise social I waffled something dreadful in mine Grin. My email was better at getting to the point but when I put physical pen to paper it was a bit of an outpouring.

Posted mine this afternoon. Made me feel a bit better.

oscarandelliesdad · 12/06/2020 16:22

Thanks for the address... Have sent her an email.

Userzzz · 12/06/2020 16:16

Great idea!! Thanks OP.

Elladisenchanted · 12/06/2020 16:13

I emailed - thank you for posting it contact details. I handmake cards so I hope I'll get a chance to make and send one over the weekend but at least an email has been sent.
I feel like it's a tangible way to combat the waves of hate and abuse coming her way and to show her that she may be on the front lines but there are thousands of women cheering her on and standing with her.
I am also worried about doxxing but I used my own name. If she can be brave then so can I.

SocialConnection · 12/06/2020 15:17

I've just sealed my card ready to go.

It says

'Dear Miss Rowling

Thank you.

Thank you for standing up for women and girls, for children, for autistic people, for LGB people.

Thank you for having the courage to do what I can't because I lack the personal and financial courage to speak out.

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this for stating simple, basic truth.

Many people support you but don't dare say so and I'm sorry about this too

All the very best to you and your family .'

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 12/06/2020 11:13

Gave up trying to find a nice card - have just written on a left over Christmas card designed by my 5yo Grin I'm sure she won't mind. Plus art is definitely not my daughter's gift... It's actually hard to tell what the hell the pictures are meant to be anyway.

WinterIsGone · 12/06/2020 09:27

I'm bumping this thread. I sent a card yesterday.

Thecazelets · 11/06/2020 21:54

I sent an email a few days ago and had a nice reply too.

twoHopes · 11/06/2020 21:49

This is a lovely idea and will definitely join you. I'm imagining all these letters from GC women flooding through her letterbox just like the opening scene of Harry Potter Smile
