To get your short stories published, go through a literary agent so that they can negotiate with publishers and try to get a better deal for you while respecting your intellectual ownership rights. Otherwise, try signing up for a short workshop or even a degree so you can network.

Send work out to publications which publish work similar to yours. Perhaps try to find an agent. I would also suggest sending query letters to potential agents.

Contact a publisher, or perhaps a magazine that publishes short stories. Bradbury was originally published in Playboy, after all. Make sure you've proofread your work and formatted it in the style of whatever magazine you're submitting to--editors won't bother to read if it's not formatted and proofed. If that fails, you can try self-publishing through sites.
