Thanks for making this topic! I've been looking for an opportunity to get share this page and remove it from my currently open tabs:

Lynne M. Thomas, Gordon van Gelder, Ginjer Buchanan and Patrick Nielsen Hayden (bunch of big-name editors) discuss publishing/manuscript submissions during Worldcon 2012.

This is always good too:

Writing Excuses, 15-minutes-long podcasts discussing everything from worldbuilding to publishing, hosted by publishing authors.

If I remembered right, one of Brandon Sanderson's advice is to keep writing even if the end result is not something you are happy with. When he was finally published, he had 12 other novels finished. I can't find the source for this right now so the exact number may be wrong, but the point is that he didn't have to start from scratch to write new novels for his publisher. He didn't sit and twiddle his thumbs waiting to hear back from publishers either - he kept writing. This is why he's been able to turn out almost two novels per year since his first novel came out.

And should you think that his books can't be that good if he's turning them out that fast, well, he's been nominated for awards every year since 2005 and won two Hugo Awards in 2013.
