There are no short cuts or contacts that can help, I'm afraid. Write stories, edit them mercilessly, and find a good proofreader (preferably somebody who'll be honest, rather than family, who will lie to make you happy). Digest everything at http://www.ralan.com/wrthelp.htm, particularly the bits on manuscript format - you'd be amazed how many stories are rejected on these points alone. Submit your stories to markets at http://www.ralan.com (ONLY when your story matches what the editors say they're looking for, or you're wasting everyone's time), get rejected over and again, and eventually, if your stories are good, you'll sell something. Repeat, ad infinitum. Your list of contacts will grow, but you have to earn them. Good luck! Hi Elizabeth. There are no short cuts or contacts that can help, I'm afraid.

My name is Elizabeth. I actually ran across your site by accident, but I was imediately intrigued by it. I am a college student living in Georgia. I also write horror and thriller stories. I have had no luck in finding an editor or a publisher yet. I sincerly hope that perhaps you can help me by telling me who I can get in contact with to help me or just which road i can take to put me on the right path. Thank you. Hello. My name is Elizabeth.
