Without a formal education your best bet is too simply immerse yourself in design publications and online resources. These sites are a good start:

You're very much swimming against the current on this one. Print is far from dead, but demand for interactive work is generally much greater. Publishers of printed media are taking huge hits (especially now). With a glut of established print designers out there finding work will be challenging.
Best of luck.
