Stephen King has much work published and (most likely) doesn't get rejections on stories anymore, plus he has great editors and his wife Tabitha is also an author but only he knows. An interesting story: He was curious about this himself. He wanted to publish stories on the merit of the writing, not because of his name. This led him to write a series of books under the pen name Richard Bachman. There was a phony photo and bio on the book jackets, 4 different books were published 'Thinner' is one of them, before a reporter did some digging and discovered the masquerade and outed him. So he writes well enough to get published even as an unknown.
