We all know that J.K Rowling just wins at Twitter, but we have a new found respect for her after she shared some way harsh rejection letters she received from publishing houses for her work. 

And these letters were sent to her after the success of Harry Potter. 

Yep, J.K went on to write a number of detective novels under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith after she had finished her monumental magical series.

When she sent these manuscripts into publishing houses under the 'unknown' name, she was rejected several times. 

So of course, she decided to share some of these pretty brutal letters to inspire other struggling authors. 

"I regret to inform you that we have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we could not publish it with commercial success," reads the first paragraph of one such letter. 

The rejection continues with a number of tips by the publishing house on how to successfully get a book published, an area we reckon J.K may already know a thing or two about. 

I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen. https://t.co/bMKu4zJ3nm

I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers! https://t.co/ZmGNWDdF7x

Finally it finished with: "I regret we cannot reply individually or provide or provide constructive criticism (a writer's group writing course may help with the latter). May I wish you every success in placing your work elsewhere." 

Yikes. 

If J.K Rowling can't get a book published, then it's clear that most publishing houses probably don't know a good writer when they read one.
