Leave the 'getting published' stuff for when you actually have polished work that's ready to publish. Frankly, as quickly as the publishing landscape is changing, and as quickly as trends come and go, if you try writing for the market from scratch now you'll always be behind the curve.

Write something. Edit and polish the crap out of it until you know it's as good as it's going to get. Then look at agents and publishers.

And while you're doing that, start writing something new.

Too many people get bogged down in "where do I publish this thing I haven't even written yet" or "under what genre will I try marketing this half-finished draft" when those are the things that come after you actually have a finished product with which to do those things.
