In one way, HarperCollins' slush pile, outsourced to readers. You can submit your ms (you'll need at least 10,000 words) and/or do some talent-spotting (your notes on the work of others will help encourage them to read your irresistible prose...). The five top rated mss each month are reviewed by real live HarperCollins editors.
This is how they describe it:
Get Read. Get Noticed. Get Published.
