You sound like a publisher trying to troll would-be writers.

You can't get away with rough drafts unless you have a published body of work that editors can trust. Yeah this does mean editors don't like to do their job but they want to know what you are capable of before they bother editing a single word.
Polish the manuscript and try again.

Definitely. I imagine every publisher gets a thousand "groundbreaking" manuscripts as if written by toddlers every month.

If you're actually too stupid for grammar and spelling, and even too stupid to have it spellchecked by software, you are a non-reader and your book idea is shit and has probably been done already anyway.

Write in your native language. Of course, then nobody will read it, as they wouldn't read it if it was in English, or in any other language, because no one is going to read anything.

The point is, just b.e. yourself.
