When the publisher has first agreed to bring out her book, she has given her 1500 pounds together with a kind advice — to find a stable job. He was hesitant of the idea that the young author would be able to make a living off of writing. Joann has demonstrated the opposite - having created a series of amazing fairytales, she has made the so-called non-reading generation get back to reading books.
