Award-winning author JK Rowling, has published two rejection letters she received from top publishing bosses, where they suggest that the best-selling author go on a writing course and pop into a 'helpful book shop' for a novelist's guide.
Rowling said, she decided to share the rejection letters to encourage and inspire other writers. The best-selling author was pitching her first novel, The Cuckoo's Calling, under her Robert Galbraith pseudonym when she got the replies from Constable and Robinson and Creme de la Creme publishers.
The Cuckoo's Calling, a post-war detective novel, went on to be a number one bestseller, and in order to inspire other writers the Harry Potter author has posted the letters on Twitter.
Rowling had chosen to write under a different name in order to publish without hype or expectation, after the phenomenal success she enjoyed with her magical Harry Potter series.
