It takes years of investment and high-quality work to make a published novel, especially if you count all the "practice" writing that comes before. So, you write your novel in your garret, and then you hope you can find the right publisher for it, who didn't just buy a similar novel from someone with more name recognition.
It's a gamble, and the writer invests time and energy and hope (and money for equipment, supplies, correspondence, and so on) either way.
