"Cheryl Wright has written a wonderful book covering the basics: developing characters, setting the scene, writing and selling short stories. It is an invaluable resource for people seeking financial success for their fiction writing."
--Sarah White, freelance writer and editor
"I felt like Cheryl was in the room with me, helping me to visualize my character. Plus it was friendly and understanding, not know-it-all and far-away-from-me-the-beginner-writer. The language Cheryl used was easy to read and understand. No fancy jargon, just honest advice from an honest writer."
Susannah Eve (Windsor, Ontario)

"Think Outside the Square is loaded with information, clear examples and talent-stretching exercises. An essential addition for every writer's resource library.
I felt so prepared and inspired when I finished 'Think Outside the Square' that I sat right down and wrote a 1,500-word story. I think it's my best yet!"
