In 2005 I attended Viable Paradise workshop. Two of the instructors are long-time editors with Tor, one of the largest and best publishers of SF and fantasy books. They said again and again that the slush pile is filled with mediocrity and that if you write a good book, it will get read. Great writers truly stand out.
