Wouldn’t you want to publish your own book soon? Bloggers are known to be frustrated journalists or desperate authors. I’m not really sure about that. I love to write. But I don’t know if I have the discipline to finish an entire book. But whenever I do see JK Rowling in the news, I’d love to be in her shoes.

The most difficult part about getting your book published is finding a publisher who believes in your work. Self Publishing may be the answer to those budding novelists or authors. Authorhouse can help you, being the world’s largest self publishing company.  The company provides quality book publishing and marketing services for authors.  With Authorhouse, you need not rely on a publisher’s faith or approval in your manuscript.  You can publish your own book and place your destiny as a writer in your own hands.  Why put up with rejections from publishers?  Publishers’ judgments are not infallible.  Remember that 12 British publishers rejected JK Rowling’s manuscript before Bloomsbury decided to take it a year later.

If you have submitted a manuscript and got a rejection, do not take it sitting down.  Do something about it.  Self publish with Authorhouse  and get the last laugh — JK Rowling surely did.

During a press conference in Carnegie Hall 2 days ago, JK Rowling revealed a shocking secret about one of her main characters in the Harry Potter series. Dumbledore is gay. (My only reaction after hearing this was “huh?”)

Apparently, a fan asked JKR if Dumbledore ever fell in love to which she responded, “I always thought of Dumbledore as gay.” She received a prolonged ovation for this and added that she would’ve told everyone earlier had she known it would be lauded. JKR seasoned the revelation a little more by informing the audience that Dumbledore was actually in love with Grindelwald (his bestfriend who he defeated in a duel to win the Elder Wand) but was crestfallen when the latter turned to the dark arts.
