JK Rowling



No one could be as rich as him just by writing books. JK Rowling is the only author in the world to become a billionaire by writing a book. The books in his Harry Potter series are the best-selling book series in the history of the world. And the movies made from this series are all blockbuster hits. Undoubtedly in terms of popularity and finances, he is one of the most successful writers in history. But do you know, after how many struggles Harry Potter was released?

He was not very good at studying. He graduated from Exeter University after being rejected with a test at Oxford University. After finishing his studies, he did not get a good job and moved to Portugal at one point. There he married a grumpy man, who would put his hand on his body in words. In 1993, at the age of 36, he returned to England with his only daughter and began living with his sister. During this time he calculated that he had failed miserably in everything in life. He became a patient of depression and even considered suicide. But thinking about his daughter, he regained his composure and began to write Harry Potter's book, honing his writing talent. That's how two years pass. Little by little, he finished writing Harry Potter's first book in 1995. The purpose of writing the book was to try to turn the corner of one's life through writing. Rowling was spending the day with her only daughter without eating. But that book was also rejected by 14 publishing houses.

Finally, in 1997, a small publishing house called Bloomsbury agreed to publish the book. Harry Potter's first book was published in 1997 and caused a stir all over the world. Rowling is surprised to find that he has benefited from trying even after so many failures. More and more books are coming out, one after another superhit movies are coming out. In 2004, Rowling became the first writer in the history of the world to become a billionaire by writing only books.
