Jo goes by JK Rowling because her publisher feared that young boys, who were the target audience of the Harry Potter series, might be reluctant to buy a book by which the author is female. But, Kathleen is not Jo's middle name. In fact, Jo does not have a middle name. She took on Kathleen as her pen name's middle name because that was her grandmothers name, but it is not her legal name.
When publishing her first book her publisher told her that she didn't think a man would read a book written my a woman. So she took the middle name of one of her grandmothers and abbreviated her first and new middle name.
At the time of publishing, it was suggested that young boys would not want to read a book written by a woman. The editor told her to use her first and middle name initials. Since she didn\'t officially have a middle name, she used her grandmothers name.
