Jonathon, once or twice in my life I have been stepped on or kicked by people I have helped, but in the long run, it’s been a good thing, not just for the people I’ve helped but for me as well. You have to have faith that most people will do the right thing.

Karen, this is a great post! As a relative newcomer to the profession, having you provide a “how to” list is really great. I’ve just starting publishing, taking on book reviews and blogging. Your post is a reminder that I don’t have to become “famous” overnight. Just participating in the profession, seeking out opportunities and taking the time to learn will help. Thank you!
