So! Long and meandering internet journeys led me to a fantastic resource on Agents and publishing, and so I thought I'd share.
Using a Method, I was able to find and watch this vidya by SwankIvy, and it gives a whole bunch of excellent places and ways to search out agents and venues for publishing.
