Writing is the last bastion of merit.
If you work hard and try to improve, you will. If you are lazy and never bother to learn, you will fail. Unless you are a rich celebrity with a ghost writer, in which case, your sponsors will pretend you are a good writer and buy your books in bulk to make it look like you are popular.

What, you expected life to be fair?

The most writing advice "self-help" books are written not by the authors of the best-selling novels, but by the editors employed by the large publishing houses, i.e. people behind the editorial review responsible for rejecting your novel after reading first three sentences (if they feel generous). On the one hand, their opinion is valuable, since deciding what is acceptable or not depends on them, and only on them. On the other hand, it doesn't necessarily make them good writers, since ultimately they are bureaucrats deciding what would and wouldn't sell, or even what could be published, not what is good.
