I don’t highlight things like this as much as I should, but know that some conferences nowadays are live-blogged, allowing those who can’t attend the event a glimpse at the informational sessions and presentations that go on. Of course, nothing takes the place of personally attending a conference (you get to pitch and network), but live-blogged conferences invite writers to pick up some tips.
