Humor Writer of the Month: Desiree Miller

Desiree Miller is an award-winning writer with a passion for travel and storytelling.

She plans travel retreats and hosts a weekly podcast, Time to Talk Travel. Her newly released book, 101 True Tales from the Terminal: Wild, Wacky & Wonderful Stories That’ll Take You Away (Braughler Books), is an anthology of essays from writers who’ve experienced the crazy world of air travel, for better or worse. 

The book was inspired by a social media post Miller wrote about her fun interactions in Atlanta’s airport as she awaited her flight to Dayton, Ohio, to the 2022 Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop. Eager to “find her funny,” she didn’t realize she’d have a plan for an entire book about funny stuff before the workshop even started. The anthology includes stories from five writers in the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop community: John Branning, Rajean Blomquist, Karen Bucci, Ginger Claremohr and January Gordon Ornellas.

Miller is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Society of American Travel Writers.
