What Does J.k Stand For In J.k Rowling?

The initials stand for JOANNE KATHLEEN. Before the phenomenal success of the Harry Potter books, the author was looking for a potential publisher and she thought her work would be taken more seriously if she used her initials and let them believe the writer was a man. Once the first novel was accepted, it was decided to continue under the same name.

Bit of an indictment on the world of publishing, but she's obvously had the last laugh !
