JK Rowling got 12 before she asked Bloomsbury. The owner of Bloomsbury's daughter was given the manuscript to read and she immediately demanded the next chapter.

J.K Rowling didn't choose Bloomsbury, she actually asked many publishing companies to publish the books but none of them would. Bloomsbury was the only company that said yes. Also, she picked Christopher Little to publish her book because she liked his name and he was associated with Bloomsbury which is why they said they would publish the book.
