That is fairly close. Another way to put it is that I want to consider books by authors who have proven they are at least able to meet the minimum standards set by publishers.
I accept that some authors are capable of meeting those standards but choose not to submit their work to a publisher, but I am happy to miss out on reading those authors if it means I can exclude the large numbers of self-published authors that are not capable of meeting even such minimal standards.
