JK Rowling shares rejection letters ‘to inspire writers’

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has shared two rejection letters she received from publishers when she was writing under her pen-name Robert Galbraith.

The famous author posted them on Twitter yesterday to give encouragement to budding authors.

The rejection letters are in relation to her first post-Potter novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling. Responding to a fan’s request for a picture of a rejection letter she explained: “The Potter ones are now in a box in my attic, but I could show you @RGalbraith’s?”.
