    J.K. ROWLING
    Joanne Rowling is a British author, philanthropist, film producer,
    television producer, and screenwriter. She is best known for writing
    the Harry Potter fantasy series, which has won multiple awards and sold
    more than 500 million copies. J.K. Rowling is the pen name she uses as a
    writer. The J is for Joanne, her real first name, but she prefers to be called
    Jo. Apparently, people only call her Joanne when they’re angry with her.
    The K is made up. Her publisher asked her to write using a name with two
    initials, but she didn’t have a middle name.
    Jo did a few different things before she struck upon the idea of
    writing children’s books. She worked as a researcher and bilingual
    secretary for Amnesty International and as an English teacher in Portugal.
    The idea for the Harry Potter novels came from nowhere while she was on a train to London. She
    said, “The characters and situations came flooding into my head”.
    Seven Potter novels later and Rowling is one of the richest women in the world. In fact,
    she is the first novelist ever to become a billionaire from writing. Her rags to riches story is a
    fantasy story in itself. She was on government handouts while writing her first novel. Her last
    four books broke records for the fastest sellers in literary history.
    Today she devotes much of her time to many charitable causes. She famously demanded
    that Coca-Cola donate $18 million to the reading is a fundamental charity if it wanted a tie-up
    with the Potter movies. The future? In March 2008, she said: "I will continue writing for children
    because that's what I enjoy".
