10 Famous Fiction Writers Who Reached Success Through Failure

Famous writers don’t need to seek literary agents and publishers.
They don’t have to worry if their books will sell or not. Famous
writers don’t have day jobs and have the privilege of doing only
what they love – write.


We dream to become one of them. We wish to be where they are now.
But did we ever think where were they before becoming famous?
Well I can tell you. They were exactly where you are now. Most of
them came to success through failure. Many of them even through a
massive failure… Don’t believe me? Well let’s see… From the many
examples I have chosen those writers whom almost everyone knows.
Even those who don’t read much and have not read their books have
at least heard about them. None of them was an overnight success
but all of them deserved the success.


1. J. K. Rowling She gave birth to Harry Potter
and the guy made her famous and rich. But things were not that
smooth in the beginning. 12 publishers before that rejected her
manuscript. So if she gave up, let’s say after the 10th rejection
we would never know that Harry even existed.


2. John Grisham He was a lawyer, who loved to
write. His first book Time to Kill was written in 3 years and
rejected by 27 different publishers. But now he is one of the
bestselling authors with total copies of 250 million of his books
sold.


3.  Steven King Steven’s book Carrie was
rejected 30 times, but once it was published it sold 1 million
copies in the first year alone.


4. Stephanie Meyer From the 15 literary agencies
she wrote to 5 did not answer at all and the other 9 rejected her
book. Only 1 gave her a chance and we all know what happened
next.
