Coming to a depressing conclusion

[valarltd]

I need money.
I need a fairly large lump sum.

I need to hunt down an agent or a publisher who will acquire an advance for me for a novel. As much as the idea of not earning out terrifies me, the idea of never paying off the dentist and letting my teeth rot out of my head, despite daily brushing and flossing, terrifies me more.

My problem, I've been doing it all myself for so long in the small-press world, I have no clue how.

Now, I know I have authors on here who do have agents and advances. What is the fastest, easiest way to do this? You who know what I write, who do you recommend?

This is me, begging shamelessly.
