Details are starting to emerge about J.K. Rowling’s New York City The Casual Vacancy event next week. The Lincoln Center has announced an itinerary as well as a set of guidelines for attendees.

The email states:

We are thrilled that you will join us for J.K. Rowling’s only U.S. event for THE CASUAL VACANCY. After the on stage reading, interview and Q&A, J.K. Rowling will sign one copy of The Casual Vacancy only per person. Please see below for the program and the signing procedure which will be strictly enforced. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you on the 16th.

In an effort to accommodate every ticketholder in a swift and timely fashion, we ask that all guests read and understand the following SIGNING GUIDELINES:

-Guests will remain in their seats until their row is called to the signing area.
-Once guests are called to the signing line, each guest will receive one copy of THE CASUAL VACANCY.
-J.K. Rowling will sign that one copy per person with no dedications.
-Guests are not permitted to bring any other books or materials to the signing line.
-Without exception, no other books or materials will be signed by J.K. Rowling at this event.
-Guests can take photos while J.K. Rowling is signing, but no posed photos will be permitted.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a spectacular evening.

Fans were concerned that Rowling may not sign all copies of The Casual Vacancy in person due to the fact that the size of the audience nearly doubled after the great ticket mishap.

The press release appears to include a few guidelines (read rules) that will prevent the event from being slowed down in any way. Preventing posed pictures and the ability to have other memorabilia signed by Rowling should allow all of the attendees to get their chance to meet J.K. Rowling and also get their signed copy of The Casual Vacancy. We’re glad to see they’ve been able to accommodate the additional audience and we’re sure that Rowling’s team made sure accommodations were made so that none of her fans would be let down.

Hypable will be present at the event and covering it for you!
