Is (Writing) Talent Enough?

Writer's Digest on FaceBook poses the question, "Does Talent Eventually Get Discovered?"

Reading 100 stories by 100 different writers and you will find maybe (I'm guessing) 5 stories that really stand out. Out of those 5, 1 just might have that exceptional talent to craft words in such a unique way - the reader never forgets.

But is that (writing) talent enough?
Can someone with mere exceptional writing talent succeed in publishing?
Should they have a good personality for interviews?
Good marketing ideas on how to sell their book?

What else besides writing should someone possess to really make it?
