I think you're misinterpreting what I mean by "quality". I'm not tlnkiag about the storytelling or author skill, I'm tlnkiag basics.Better than 90% of self-published novels aren't readable. Literally. They're incoherent, no grammar, no sentence structure, no spelling, etc. (Try reading a random block of them sometime.)There are stellar self-pubs out there, sure, but you have to wade through hundreds of unreadable things people have thrown up on a whim to get to the one someone had edited or actually crafted as a novel.With a commercial novel, that danger's gone. The story may still suck, but I at least know I'll be able to read it.
