J. K. Rowling

Did you know that J.K. Rowling used to be an English language teacher
before she became successful as the author of the Harry Potter series? She
taught English to students in Portugal. She lived there from 1991 to 1994.
During that time, she also worked on her first Harry Potter book.
After she taught in Portugal, she went back to Scotland. By then she was
a single mother with a young daughter. She didn't have much money, but she
didn't want to return to teaching until she completed her book. Rowling
enjoyed drinking coffee, so she did much of her writing in a cafe while her
daughter took naps. She wrote quickly, and when her daughter was three,
Rowling finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone.
Many publishers were not interested in her book. She doesn't remember
how many rejection letters she got, maybe twelve. Finally a small publishing
company, Bloomsbury, accepted it. Shortly after its publication, the book began
to sell quickly, and Rowling soon became famous. Now there are seven Harry
Potter books, and Rowling is one of the wealthiest and most successful women
in the world.
