Best option to get yourself going: I went to google and typed in the following. Contributor copies is the point of this tip. a bunch came up that pay contributor copies. also just look at the whole mega list of sci fi magazines listed on that list. They will tell you if they offer contributor copies as payment.
Go to Barnes and Noble and look at actual books and look and see who is the publisher of the ones you like then submit your art to them. Look at magazines too like heavy metal
