Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop
Erma Bombeck, who chronicled the foibles of family life with humor and heart, first heard the words, “You can write!” from her University of Dayton English professor.
That’s the workshop’s mantra as we encourage and support writers, whose work and the spirit of the workshop are featured in these three books. Proceeds will benefit the workshop’s endowment fund, which helps keep the event affordable for writers.
