We publish short humor and human interest essays on our blog that are written in the spirit of Erma Bombeck. (No profanity or politics, please.) To be considered, please email a 400- to 600-word piece (preferably in Word), a headshot and a short author bio to erma@udayton.edu.
We will begin accepting applications for presenters in January 2025. To apply, fill out and submit this form. The next workshop is slated for March 26-28, 2026.
If you’d like to be considered as our “Humor Writer of the Month” (or you read someone who should be), send an e-mail to erma@udayton.edu with a brief bio and a link to material that makes us laugh.
