Presenter: Speaking about the coming conference, what would you say is the major benefit for attending publishing events for writers as compared to, say, online resources on the subject? 

Julia: I think the major difference between online and face-to-face events is energy. Whenever I’ve taught or attended an event, it’s the energy in the room that I really notice. There’s a rich atmosphere of expectation, optimism, and motivation that you don’t get if you’re sitting alone at your computer. There’s also the opportunity to swap stories with other attendees, learn from the questions that are asked and the answers given by the speaker. There’s a sense of community that you don’t get online, and people often leave feeling fired up, motivated, and determined.
