J. K. Rowling is the pen name she uses as a writer. “J” is for Joanne, but she prefer to be called “Jo”. People called her Joanne when they’re angry with her. She doesn’t have a middle name, “K” is made up.
She worked as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and as an English teacher in Portugal. The idea for the Harry Potter novels came from nowhere while shie was on a train to London.
