Really interesting, inspiring and helpful with feedback.

Thank you Piers, this was an excellent day - so informative and useful! I have learnt so many things I'm keen to put into action in my next features.

Emphasis on useful tips and relevant examples rather than a lot of time getting participants to try things out - an excellent balance - and delivered in such an inspiring and positive way! Thank you.

This was a hugely helpful, thought-provoking course. Exactly what I needed! Piers was a knowledgeable and supportive trainer.

Piers was very interesting and engaging and had taken the time to look at some of our features ahead of the course.

Session covered lots of ground, offered really valuable practical and relevant tips. It delivered an ideal mix of Piers talking, group discussion and workshop activities. Piers was great at involving everyone and maintained a really positive vibe throughout. This was one of the best workshops I've been to. I'm sure it will strengthen my feature writing.

Our trainer was extremely good and very welcoming. It was nice to spend the two days with him.
