But how does one find an agent, submitted but no response. It's hard to remain patient. Though two publishing houses responded the next day with Hybrid which I wA so grateful for it gave me hope.

Unfortunately, agents and editors often don't provide responses. I've heard it's only gotten worse recently. Sometimes the submission guidelines will include instructions for following up within a few months. Otherwise, assume no response is a 'no' until you hear otherwise. It is very difficult to be patient, especially when the time stretches into many months. So glad you found a way to stay hopeful! I think that's the key!
