J.K. Rowling is one of the most successful published authors in the literary world and she’s sending a message to all aspiring writers out there – rejection is part of the process.
In fact, she shared two of her rejection letters sent to her pseudonym Robert Galbraith to prove she was no different than many other aspiring writers hoping to get published.
Rowling first got inspirational with her fans by answering their questions and comments:
I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers! https://t.co/ZmGNWDdF7x

I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen. https://t.co/bMKu4zJ3nm

She then gave in to “popular request” to posted two rejection letters.
By popular request, 2 of @RGalbrath's rejection letters! (For inspiration, not revenge, so I've removed signatures.) pic.twitter.com/vVoc0x6r8W

She then left us with some words of wisdom.
I had nothing to lose and sometimes that makes you brave enough to try. https://t.co/ETEk8lcih1
