The problem for me is that I really don't want to read through the slush pile looking for the few good books buried in it. With current state of self-publishing, even looking for books with good reviews does little to help. One horrid example of this is one site which had 6 5-star reviews of Wen Spencer's Harbinger which hasn't been released other than the snippet at the end of her
Elfhome story collection. Hopefully, her home is far enough away from Kilauea not be be endangered or the release will be even more delayed... "A volcano ate my manuscript!"
