Any tips for getting published?
I'm not a publisher or an agent, so no need to send me your work. I'm afraid I can't offer any feedback on your no doubt, heart felt, sweat drenched efforts.
I recommend the Writers & Artists Yearbook for contacts to send your work to. These people know what they are doing.
Have a look over my answers to questions I am frequently asked, there's some info about how I first got published.
