"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."
I'd pretty much expect them to say that, and to possibly even believe it. But when you hear authors' stories about how many agents/publishers they had to submit to before getting any interest, you have to think that isn't the case. What if the author had stopped at the 19th agent or the 39th publisher before being accepted? How many rejections do you collect before deciding that your work is no good?
