This just received via email regarding the upcoming Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop, where I will be one of the speakers...and many of the NYMB co-editors will be in attendance, as well! Only 350 spots will open, and they sell out very quickly. So be ready December 4th! --Dahlynn Hello, writers! Want to laugh for three solid days? Soak in advice and encouragement from other writers? Maybe hang out with a few celebrities in the hotel bar? Online registration opens at noon on Wednesday, Dec. 4, for the 2014 Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop at the University of Dayton. We will post a registration link on the workshops website that day, plus on our Facebook page and via Twitter @ebww. Is the workshop worth it? Heres what writers told us after the last one: * When I came to EBWW in 2010, I had a blog and some dreams. I came to EBWW in 2012 having had several essays published and with a book contract. Did EBWW get me published? No. But did it make me believe I could do it? Absolutely. * Truly, this was the best conference Ive ever been to for writers. Not only were the classes very informative, but my smile muscles hurt each night. ...And a unique thing at this conference was the overall feeling of warmth and unity I felt throughout with kindred souls who were out to support each other and not compete. * The desserts rocked. (Everyone agreed on that point.) We hope youll join us April 10-12 for whats shaping up to be an outstanding workshop. Check out the keynoters, faculty and workshop sessions here. Erma Bombeck will be in the national spotlight when C-SPAN2 airs stories about Daytons literary life and history this month.The segment featuring Ermas legacy will air at noon on Saturday, Dec. 21.
