- The Good: Unlike others, whom we shall not name, some editors are thoughtful about rejection. See Brian Doyle's musings at the Kenyon Review for a refreshing essay on the matter.
- The Bad: While some "novelists" have all the luck.
- The Ugly: And some publishing houses think it's brilliant to put their slush piles online.

I think you're missing a link to "novelists" :)
oops, my bad. I see you've linked "luck." Oh, the luck, the luck of being a Beatle leech.
what the hell do they mean in the article:
"Most big publishers would far rather let an agent do the legwork, and pay the percentage,"
Publishers don't pay the agent. Writers do out of a percentage of THEIR sales. Der.
For someone who's been in publishing awhile it astounds me this individual doesn't know this basic fact.
