hob nob with the editors. Get them to know who you are and what you're working on. Work up a good teaser to present them with.

Make sure you can pay for everything and not have to back out last minture because you don't have everything planned too well.

Ask around to various authors and agents to find out which editors have openings. Then talk to those editors about what they like, how they like to receive manuscripts, and ask if you can send them something.
