If you are in the US you could consult Writer's Market 2016 for names and addresses of publishers and advice to authors. For the UK and Commonwealth countries a similar guide is the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook 2016. These two annual guides for authors are the most well known but there are other good books on the same lines as well, and I expect the same is true for other countries.

Be warned that it is very difficult for a first time author of fiction to be published. There is intense competition. However the internet has made it far easier than before to find an audience if you don't mind not getting paid. It is also possible to publish your own book electronically, although doing this does cost quite a lot. If you search this site using the tags "self-publishing" and "ebook" you will find more information on that subject.

I hope you don't mind that I made an edit to your post, correcting a word that was used wrongly. That does bring up an important point: in order to be taken seriously by a publisher it is very important to thoroughly check your work for incorrect use of English.
