4 things: (1) finding a fulfilling, full-time job in public history or museum education that matches my skill set, (2) getting started on an independent/consulting career in public history or museum education should full-time employment continue to be unavailable, (3) building connections with print and online magazine editors, and (4) acquiring a literary agent.
