As I've suggested to others that want to learn about photogaphy, and to those that wish to improve their skills, READ, READ and READ all you can find on the subject. Photo.net as suggested above is but one of many different sites that offer a lot of free advice, tutorials and/or lessons on the subject of landscape photography. Try also photoSIG.com and Usefilm.com and nikonpixelcritic.com and treklens.com and dpreview.com and popphoto.com and totki.com and betterphoto.com and the many other sites that offer free information (instead of paying for it, get it free).
I would suggest that you have a good and reliable camera and backup cameras, and the best possible wide angle lenses with the best possible glass componants with the best glass formula, and have the best and recent knowledge of films (AND digital technology and the computer programs that let you tweak and enhance your images), know the use of the different available filters (screw type and those that attach with a holder, like Cokin), and the use of a view camera with the much larger negatives. You will also need a very good and sturdy tripod. In other words, you must be very familiar with the tools of the craft, and stay up to date with the innovations, new techniques and technologies that are springing up everyday around us.
Go to conferences and participate in workshops, get to know other working pros and establish a network of contacts. And, above everything else, stay active and enjoy what you're doing.

What you need to do is get a decent camera, drive around a little, and find a good front-yard or something that has to do with landscape photography. Then take a couple pictures of the same landscape, get them printed, and pick-out your favorite ones. After you do that, search some good publishers, send couple of your pictures from you portfolio, and just hope that you can get a good reply.
P.S- make sure the pictures that you send are the originals, and make like two copies, so if you get a bad publisher, he/she doesn't have your pics. Good luck!
