Treky and Tabatha ask:

Let's say that you have a short story that you have gotten to a point
where you want to publish it. Who do you go to?

Depends on the kind of story. For SF or fantasy, you go to the magazines and
maybe the editors of anthologies. Other genres have similar magazines, though
mystery and romance are the most available. For an experimental or mainstream
story, try the academic quarterlies and "little" magazines. Once in a great
while, a big magazine like the Atlantic will take fiction from an unknown
writer (they used to feature "Atlantic firsts"). Guess how often it happens;
then go spend the postage on a lottery ticket instead.
