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.
