I wrote a SciFi novel for fun which everyone that has read it loves it

For fun my side project was writing a SciFi novel. I've gotten a dozen or so people to read and and respond and it seems to be universally loved.

I've done the submitting to agents and getting the mountains of rejection letters.

Has anyone on HN gone through this, how do I get my book into the hands of an agent?

I recommend reading up on Andy Weir as he started out self-publishing and was eventually approached by a publisher... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Weir

The other author I am familiar with is Tui Sutherland who started out working at a publishing house, then working on the Warriors book series with several other authors before starting her own series Wings of Fire.
