Search up "calls for submission." Click on a website looking for works to publish. Read PDFs of previous editions to see the kind of work they publish, also read their website to see what work they are looking for (a lot seem to be looking for "minority opinions," black/LGBT voices, etc.). Check their rules for submissions to see how many you can submit in one go, if there is a fee, and what other information you need to include. From that point on, just don't worry about anything. Be natural. Don't make every work with "this needs to be up to the lofty, high-minded editor's expectations." Just write naturally, and if you are skillful, you'll write something of merit and that they are looking for. If you simply cannot write the kind of material they seek, look for a different magazine. If no magazine publishes the kind of work you excel at, it's time to branch out and try something new, or start a magazine (provided that you have some friends, some money that's bugging you, and a pool of writers to draw on), but that's more of a pipe dream.

This is great advice.

To find publications, Submittable has calls for entry and Duotrope is a database of publications and contest. Use the free trial, then move on.

If you read what they publish you'll get an idea of what they're looking for.
