Article about big publishers taking self-published books

So a lot of it is about teamwork and whether the self-published author can work with the corporation and fit in with their goals? And it's not really down to sales, since those self-published authors who have been successful aren't always taken on whereas those with fewer sales have been?

Hmm. That's interesting. It seems it is something to do with the market buzz however that the book has generated.

I don't really understand it myself. But it is nice to hear from "big publisher" industry insiders, who usually don't have much to say on the subject.
