THE SUCCESS OF J K ROWLING

There are few modern-day writers as renowned as Joanne Kathleen Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter With over 30

awards under her belt, she is one of the most successful authors of all time In addition, her novels have famously been

adapted into a series of box-office hits These earn her so much income that the 47-year-old could comfortably retire, and live

off Harry Potter royalties for the rest of her life! However, this lucrative success story started at the most humble of

beginnings, with a talented but insecure writer too afraid to pursue her dreams

Joanne grew up in a house full of books that fuelled her creativity She was so enchanted by fairy tales that she began to

dream up her own, and by the time she was six years old she had written her first story about a rabbit and a giant bee “Eversince Rabbit and Miss Bee, I have wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so,” recalls Joanne, “I was afraid they'dtell me I didn’t have a hope."

Throughout her life, Joanne continued to write, filling entire boxes with stories and unfinished novels But due to her lack ofconfidence, she never approached a publisher with any of her work It wasn’t until later life, when Joanne lost her job and wasliving in poverty, that she finally devoted her time to writing Then with nothing to lose, she contacted an agency with her

first completed manuscript: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Joanne’s first novel was rejected by twelve different publishers and eventually found itself in the hands of Nigel Newton, thefounder of Bloomsbury Press He did not read the book himself, but gave it to his eight-year-old daughter The girl loved thenovel so much that Nigel agreed to take it on; but not without apprehensions “You’ll never make any money out of children’sbooks,” he warned Joanne

Well, she certainly proved him wrong! To date, she has sold 500 million copies of her novels globally, and the Harry Potter

franchise has reaped profits of £15 billion! Now, as the richest author in the world, no publisher in their right mind would

dream of turning down one of her books! And as for Joanne’s confidence; well, let’s just say It’s been given quite a boost.

THE BOSTON TEA PARTY

On 16th December 1773, three British ships sat anchored in Boston harbour, America Their cargo: 42,000 kgs of black tea

Unfortunately, this colossal shipment would never set foot on American soil Instead, it would find itself at the bottom of the

Atlantic Ocean And here’s why

By the late 18th century, Britain had conquered a significant portion of North America, including the eastern coast This gavethe British a monopoly over international trade Among the many British imports, one of the most popular was tea, a productwhich was consumed in the colonies at a rate of 540,000 kg per year! However, as the British government ruled over this

region, they decided to implement a tax on tea This meant that for every ten kilograms of tea which landed on American soil,

a tax of 66 pence would have to be paid to the British The colonists were not impressed

Although the tax imposed on tea was relatively small, the colonists were unhappy about paying any tax at all They feltunfairly governed by the British, who were at liberty to tax them in any way they wished As such, they refused to allow theshipment to be unloaded and instead insisted that the tea be returned to England However, the Royal British Governor,Thomas Hutchinson, would not let the ships leave without first unloading the cargo

For the protestors, this was the last straw They descended upon the harbour and stormed the ships Then, with few options

remaining, they began opening the crates and dumping the tea into the ocean In the end, every last crate was destroyed,amounting to 18 million cups of tea! The sheer quantity turned the water in the harbour brown for several days, and the event

forever became known as the Boston Tea Party The importers of the tea, the British-owned East India Tea Company,

reported losses of £9,700, which is equivalent to millions in today’s economy! This angered the British to such an extent that

they dispatched an army of soldiers to teach the rebels a lesson However, fuelled by the events in Boston, the colonists

fought back in what later became known as the American Revolutionary War And after eight years of rebellion, they finally gained their independence, giving birth to a brand new nation: the United States of America.
