NPR posted a correction Monday related to the headline of a piece about author J.K. Rowling:

A previous headline misspelled author J.K. Rowling’s name as Rolling.

The piece, by the way, is about one of the “Harry Potter” author’s pen names, Robert Galbraith.

What’s in a name? A lot it turns out, if you are J.K. Rowling and want to write anonymously. She tells David Greene why she took a pseudonym to write a series of crime novels.
