John Grisham\u2019s first novel, A Time to Kill<\/i>, was rejected by twenty-eight agents and publishers. When an agent finally took him as a client, the book\u2019s first press run was only 5,000 copies. Grisham himself purchased 1,000 copies and hawked his work to bookstores from the trunk of his car.<\/p>\n
Only after his second novel, The Firm<\/i>, hit the bestseller list did Grisham get his big break. Six of his books have now been made into movies, and the press run of his most recent volume, A Painted House<\/i>, was 2.8 million copies. Grisham now has more than 100 million books in print in thirty-one languages.<\/p>\n
