J.K. ROWLING

Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born on July 31st, 1965 in England. Rowling writing career started at the age of six when she wrote a story called Rabbit. Since then Rowling has graduated from Exeter, worked as a teacher and been an unemployed single parent. Divorced and living on public assistance Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at a table in a café during her daughters naps. When Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was bought and published by Bloomsbury in 1997 her life changed dramatically, the Harry Potter series has since then won numerous awards and become a tremendous success around the world.

Like that of her own character, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling's life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant daughter, it was Harry Potter that rescued her. First, the Scottish Arts Council gave Rowling a grant to finish the book. Harry Potter won The British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, and the Smarties Prize. Book rights have been sold to England, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Finland, Denmark, Spain and Sweden.
