Excellent review from format/presentation through where things can specifically go wrong from Act I, mid story and final act. Stressing importance of having a uniting theme and keep the tone consistent. Very good suggestions for going back after completing the story to assist where characters need developing. Plenty of time for asking questions and the three local writers were all very approachable.
