唐朝别是把《哈里·波特》第一部电影出来的时间当作人家出第一本书出版的日子了吧?
Before she became a published author, Rowling worked as a language teacher. She taught English in Portugal until her divorce, then moved to Edinburgh, where she was first a substitute teacher and then a high school French teacher.
She finally finished the first Harry Potter book in 1996, after slaving over it for a half-dozen years. She was thrilled when Bloomsbury bought it for a reported $15,000. Accordingly, she went along when the publishers asked her to use the initials "J.K." rather than "Joanne," for fear that adolescent boys would spurn the book if they knew the author was a woman.
