I'm sure that some of these big name authors are told no on occasion. Some of them aren't told no often enough. I am an avid reader of multiple genres and I see authors go off the boil - yet someone has still said yes and published the book. I honestly think that a publisher would have to think very hard before saying no to one of the big names. They sell even if the book is not up to standard. People buy on author name.
