Who do you know in the publishing world?

[Billtrumpet25]

Here's a little experiment I want to try:

Everyone here will probably have heard about the six degrees of separation, to some degree or another (no pun intended). Are you or anyone know of (on a personal point) an agent or editor in the publishing world?

I'm sure there are many people out there who are aspiring authors (myself being one of them, on the edge of sending my book out for publication), so this might be a way to become familiar with someone in the publishing realm, which will ultimately raise the chances of someone getting an agent or publisher.

So, leave your name (if you'd like), who you know, and how you know them. Let's see how this experiment will end...
