J.K. Rowling

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. |

Jo did a few different things before she struck upon the idea of writing books for children. For some time, she worked as a teacher of English in Portugal. The idea for the Harry Potter novels came from nowhere while she was going on a train to London. She said, “The characters and situations came flooding into my head”. |
