Saw this post by Wendy Lawton which might be good for those who haven't published yet, but are looking into doing so in the near future. Some of these may be more feasible than others (not living in an English-speaking country nixes a lot of the "in-person" options for me right now), but I think there's some solid advice here. Have you done these things and/or want to do them?
