Rowling tweeted on Thursday about a workshop that teaches people “how to write a best seller and create your 6-7 figure empire” and has a photo of her, along with other successful people, on its site. She implored people not to waste their money on the bestsellerevent.com workshop.
I hate this kind of thing and I don't like my picture being used to sell it. Don't waste your money, people.https://t.co/QfPo8yOGQu
