This workshop
is totally interactive, and each participant will
receive individual feedback on their assignments.
As you work your way through this unorthodox
workshop, you will discover new ways of writing,
and techniques you didn’t know existed. You
will soon find yourself ‘thinking outside
the square’.
The aim is to
guide writers toward their full potential, and
unleash hidden chambers in their imaginations.
The workshop is suitable for writers of all skill
levels from the very beginner to widely
published. The techniques taught are applicable
to both novels and short stories.
Most
workshops run from ten days to three weeks, which
varies with each group as they are pretty much
self-paced. (At least two groups have run for
around four weeks)
To allow the
author time to write, the workshops are only held
bi-monthly four-monthly.

| This class has been a real eye opener
with what went wrong in my previous short stories. Thanks
to Cheryl, I've done a whole 'about-turn' in my writing.
Suddenly, things seem to be sliding into place.
...this workshop was like a one
on one mentorship. What I have learned has turned my
writing around. It suddenly opened up a whole new way of
thinking about my writing.

| ‘Think Outside the Square’
workshops are conducted by a published author who knows
her craft and how to teach it. All the basic
elements of how to develop a short story are here.
The advice is practical and provided in an easy to
understand, enjoyable manner. I think just
about anyone, experienced or novice, could learn
something new from Cheryl. I know I did. Dianne Parham/dialyn

| Cheryl's workshop was great. I learned
a lot about character development and realized I was
lacking in some of the personal knowledge of my
characters. Cheryl explains the basics of getting a short
story off the ground and taking it all the way through
marketing it to get it published.
With the personal feedback, I feel my writing
has grown through Cheryl's workshop. "Think Outside
the Square" teaches you just that and offers
friendly advise on how to get what you really want out of
your writing.

| I had written only one children's
short story before taking the course. Through the
character development assignment, I saw a short
story forming. But, then it fell short. I
couldn't see past the beginning of the story. After
one more assignment and some advice from Cheryl and
another student, Viola! There it was! I was
able to further develop my story and really enjoyed
tapping into my own creativity. The short story
course was like a key unlocking my ideas. Stephenie Hovland,
Minnesota
