Bloomberg Game Changers Preview: J.K. Rowling

May 31 (Bloomberg) -- This Tuesday, May 31st at 9pm ET, "Bloomberg Game Changers" profiles J.K. Rowling, creator of Harry Potter. From her working-class roots in rural England, she endured poverty, her mother’s untimely death, a broken marriage, and single motherhood, until the entire Harry Potter saga struck her one day like a bolt from the blue. After writing the first book in a café while on welfare, and being turned down by twelve publishers, Rowling would create a franchise that rewrote the rules of how children’s books were marketed.
