Cinderella Fairy Tale

The "Cinderella Fairy Tale" is a popular one in today's society--lots of people are pulling themselves up by their boot straps and making something out of nothing. One instance of this is in writing novels. My cousin is a writer and she has been struggling to get her novel published for many months now. She sends it out to many publishing companies each week and waits for that one letter that says its the one. Each time she gets disappointed, she doesn't give up instead she moves ahead to the next publishing company in hopes of her dream coming true. When novels first come out authors are not heard of until someone reads their book and tells others about it, they have to be shared for it to become popular. For example, J.K Rowling was turned down by many publishing companies until Scholastic decided that Harry Potter would make a good series. Yet to make it well a known story they had to spread the word. Scholastic did and she became an overnight sensation- a rags to riches story.
