Quote of the Week - Isabella Rupp

Emmy-nominated producer Isabella Rupp was the guest speaker at the 17th Annual Student Arts Festival - the High School Exhibition in East Hampton, New York, this past weekend, where she encouraged students to become storytellers. Using J.K. Rowling as a specific example of a famous storyteller, Rupp said:

Quote:

“JK Rowling’s first manuscript for 'Harry Potter' was rejected 12 times,” Rupp encouraged. “Just because your stories aren’t always successful, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep telling them.”

NiamhDanaholicsAnony 03-18-2009 08:59 PM

that gives me hope....if something as awesome as hp can be rejected that many times....

classictrio00 03-18-2009 09:02 PM

wow, i didn't know that JK's PS was rejected 12 times!
I wonder what kept her going... :hmm:

Ginny GL 03-18-2009 09:02 PM

So very true!!

MochaChica 03-18-2009 09:28 PM

Inspiration...thank you

RedheadQueen 03-18-2009 10:07 PM

so true!! Glad to have such an amazing inspiration!!

expectopatronum 99 03-18-2009 10:37 PM

wonder how those people who rejected PS/SS feel now? I'm sure they look back (reluctantly) on it as a "career defining moment"!!! LMAO!!

this is great advice for struggling writers - publisher rejections shouldn't necessarily be taken as a bad thing if you're confident in your ability as a story teller.

SheydaMalfoy 03-18-2009 10:38 PM

Very inspirational for me, considering I want be an auther and I'm terribly afraid of rejection.

AvadaKedavra113 03-18-2009 10:48 PM

I bet the publishers that have rejected her are furious with themselves haha

GinnyW21 03-18-2009 11:14 PM

thats so true. great quote

harryzabest 03-18-2009 11:27 PM

Nice one!

finfin91 03-19-2009 12:34 AM

That's very true; however, I think that JK was quite exceptional.

Lily Evans 03-19-2009 01:09 AM

So true :D great quote, great quote indeed...Isabella is a wise woman

Miss Hilary Black 03-19-2009 01:23 AM

I agree.
Where would J.K. Rowling be if she just gave up?
