There are few modern-day writers as renowned as Joanne Kathleen Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter With over 30 awards under her belt, she is one of the most successful authors of all time In addition, her novels have famously been adapted into a series of box-office hits These earn her so much income that the 47-year-old could comfortably retire, and live off Harry Potter royalties for the rest of her life! However, this lucrative success story started at the most humble of beginnings, with a talented but insecure writer too afraid to pursue her dreams
Joanne grew up in a house full of books that fuelled her creativity She was so enchanted by fairy tales that she began to dream up her own, and by the time she was six years old she had written her first story about a rabbit and a giant bee “Ever since Rabbit and Miss Bee, I have wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so,” recalls Joanne, “I was afraid they'd tell me I didn’t have a hope."
Throughout her life, Joanne continued to write, filling entire boxes with stories and unfinished novels But due to her lack of confidence, she never approached a publisher with any of her work It wasn’t until later life, when Joanne lost her job and was living in poverty, that she finally devoted her time to writing Then with nothing to lose, she contacted an agency with her first completed manuscript: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Joanne’s first novel was rejected by twelve different publishers and eventually found itself in the hands of Nigel Newton, the founder of Bloomsbury Press He did not read the book himself, but gave it to his eight-year-old daughter The girl loved the novel so much that Nigel agreed to take it on; but not without apprehensions “You’ll never make any money out of children’s books,” he warned Joanne
Well, she certainly proved him wrong! To date, she has sold 500 million copies of her novels globally, and the Harry Potter franchise has reaped profits of £15 billion! Now, as the richest author in the world, no publisher in their right mind would dream of turning down one of her books! And as for Joanne’s confidence; well, let’s just say It’s been given quite a boost
Câu 15: As a child, how did the works of other writers make Joanne feel?
A Hopeful B Determined C Inspired D Intimidated
