Inspiring Stories, Quotes and Tales for the Soul

3. J.K. Rowling

J K Rowling, the single mother writer of the Harry Potter series of books, was rejected 12 times by different publishers before it was finally accepted by a little British publishing house. The novel went to become an international phenomenal with countless followers of age groups. With just the power of her pencil, J K Rowling went from near poverty to being a billionaire many times over, a clear contender for one of the very most inspirational women stars if ever there was one.

Jobless, divorced, on-welfare mother of an infant writes novel about lad who goes to wizardry school. Eventually, the manuscript is accepted by one publishing house, plus it becomes a worldwide success. “Harry Potter” has since spawned seven novels and eight films, and also the brand is now worth $24 billion. It would be quite hard to write a better rags-to-riches tale than J.K. Rowling’s life story, but somehow, we bet this enchanting wordsmith could do it.
