why did jk rowling use a pseudonym for harry potter
J. K. Rowling Although she writes under the pen name J. K. Rowling (pronounced rolling),[11] her name, before her remarriage, was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers asked that she use two initials rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K (for Kathleen) as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother.[12] She calls herself Jo.[13] Following her remarriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business.[14][15] During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling[16] and her entry in Who's Who lists her name also as Joanne Kathleen Rowling.[17]
