Take baby steps...
First, if you are a short story writer or a novelist, buy a Writer's magazine from the bookstore, and enter some short story contests with what you already have written (novel chapters if you are a novelist) Hopefully you will win or place in some competitions. This way, when you are ready to shop for an agent or shop your book around, you can show that you have already won some type of recognition for your works. It's kind of like the same concept kids use when they join all these clubs so it looks good on their college application.
If you need somewhere to start. Go buy a copy of the Writer's Market book (make sure it's current) They have addresses of companies and magazines that take submissions and how to do it. If you want a more casual approach, do an internet search for zines, zines need writers like fish need water, there just isnt enough sometimes.
