A number of years ago an author took a number of famous short stories, penned by famous authors, and submitted them to a number of prominent magazines. All were rejected.

Once upon a time, an agent liked a story I wrote and asked if I had a book. I did. He liked the novel, too. He sent it to publishers and one bought it for good money. The agent also sent the manuscript to movie studios. One of those bought it, too, for even more money...
