WANNA KNOW SOMETHING?
The manuscript for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was rejected by 12 publishing houses before being accepted after a year by Bloomsbury - a small publishing house at the time
Harry Potter has sold over 600 million copies making it the most successful book series of all time
Why was it rejected by nearly every major publisher?
The fantasy genre was considered niche at the time, especially for children’s literature
The book’s length was deemed too long for the target audience
Some found it too complex for young readers, while others thought it too childish for older audiences
Children’s literacy rates were declining, making publishers hesitant to invest in new children’s books
As a new, unknown author, Rowling presented a risk for publishers
The path to greatness is unconventional.
