Which newspaper first published J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter pseudonym revelation?

The Sunday Times first published the revelation that Robert Galbraith was J.K. Rowling.

Rowling’s first Cormoran Strike novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, appeared in 2013 under the Galbraith name. The book attracted praise while its stated author was described as a debut crime writer.

The identity was uncovered through linguistic analysis and reported by The Sunday Times in July 2013. Rowling then confirmed that she had written the novel. The disclosure ended the mystery around Galbraith but did not end the series.

The Sunday Times should not be confused with The Times. Both are British newspapers, but the Sunday publication was the one associated with the original report revealing Rowling’s authorship.
