Topic: favorite rags to riches story? |
we all like a good story right?
it's gotta be either oprah or jk rowling. oprah grew up poor, black, a female, and was even told by her employer that she was too homely to be on tv and then sent her to a beauty salon to get a makeover!
and jk rowling had to deal with being a single mother on welfare. and when she did finish the first harry potter book, she couldn't secure a publisher for over a year.
i applaud both these women for being able to rise above adversity to become global icons.

I hope all of the publishers that turned down JK are feeling pretty stupid right now!

Hindsight is 20/20. I don't think anyone could've predicted how successful the Harry Potter franchise was going to be.
Same is the case with the Twilight books.I hope all of the publishers that turned down JK are feeling pretty stupid right now!

twilight is so bad. i apologize on behalf of my gender for making it so popular.
jk rowling is a much better writer.
