I see NaNoWriMo as a good exercise for people who want to improve their writing skills. I however *DO NOT* feel that it's ready for the big time. Not by a long shot. Case in point. Most of the books I write take 2 weeks to 3 months to complete the raw draft. After that it's 12-18 months of upgrades, major edits, minor edits, cleanup edits, more edits, even more edits, and finally polishing edits before I'm even partially confident that it's remotely close to being ready for an editor to look at, let alone be published.
So for me you're looking at no less than 15 months before any of my stories are what I would consider to be even remotely close to publishing quality. And I don't let them out of my site until I feel they are. So to me, any book that had only seen 30 days of work spent on it would automatically be considered landfill to me if it were published without significant cleanup editing.
