If you want a good look at how the publishing business works, check out Miss Snark, the Literary Agent on the left. This link comes via her site.
If you're desperate to get published, take a chill pill. With few exceptions the process of getting a manuscript turned into a real book takes a very long time. This of course, is assuming you have a contract in hand. The process of getting someone to actually read and/or represent you work can take ages. Miss Snark is right: Submit your first ms. and then go work on the second in the meantime.
