What type of stories are you writing Sierra? Because it would very much depend on that.

Well, at the moment I'm writing some fairly non-genre-specific stuff... I don't actually know what it is. Real life with a hint of magic realism and a big dollop of eccentric character studies...?
Thanks for the tip Rob, I'll check that site out now.

Like the others said, you need to submit work to a publication that publishes stuff like you're writing...
But this reminds of a little suggestion concerning magazine (well, and book writing, too)... You know what often works well? Start with an easy (or easier) to get published in periodical. Something really, er, almost embarassing. Then, use that as credentialing or a pedigree to get into something a step or two up the ladder. And so on.
When I first started writing, I did freebie work for a local weekly newspaper and then a couple of really specialized industry magazines. I become a better writer (so that was good). But I also built a portfolio of work that showed the next editor, hey, I was worth looking at
