I write this piece as a women’s historian who currently works as a historical consultant, public historian, freelance copy editor, and writer. In this article, I discuss how I got where I am now and offer—via my own experience—some suggestions for how academic history programs can better prepare historians for nonacademic public history and consulting positions.
