J.K. Rowling is getting out there ahead of the trolls on International Women's Day.

On Wednesday morning, the author took to Twitter to share the following message.

As someone who's been a big voice on Twitter for a while now, Rowling clearly anticipated the annual parade of angry trolls and decided to shut them down before they even had a chance to get started.

She finished by sharing an International Women's Day reading list.

Trolls, take note.
