How do I get more advanced professions?

I have gotten the maximum benefit from all 4 of the novice professions. Will opportunities to get more advanced professions come along, or do I have to do something?

All of the faction cards have offers for Professions on them. They all require that you don't currently have a Profession, have (I think) Connected: [whatever faction] 20, and usually one other story-related condition. If you meet all of the requirements, you can claim a second tier Profession. Find one you like and enjoy.
Also note that from second tier on Professions advance in a chain (i.e. Watcher to Agent to Midnighter) so choose wisely if you're shooting for a specific advanced Profession. Also be warned that when you accept your new Profession from a faction, it will tank your Connected with them. Such is the price for advancement...
Good luck!

The required connection level in each case is 25, actually.

And since you already do, that can only be rectified by going to your lodgings and choosing "Write letters", which is far from obvious, and caused me a fair bit of confusion when trying to advance.

Personally I would hold off writing that letter until you have the Faction card you need for your chosen profession in your hand.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
