Yup. As I said, I just want to put the filtering process in the hands of third parties, and out of the hands of publishers. But this way, the publishers get more work, take less risk, the market does the filtering work, and a few more good books get out.

Agreed. So let's keep discussing alternatives.

Nope. In my case, my preliminary letters to publishers all resulted in the same notice: "We are no longer considering outside and un-agented works." In other words, dismissed without even a look. And some of those were the books I sell on my website right now, and seem to be entertaining a few people.
