2024 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop


  • University of Dayton 300 College Park Dayton, OH, 45469 United States (map)

SOLD OUT. SORRY. Join the waitlist.

I’ll teach two sessions of “Writing Funny Personal Essays”:

Why do you laugh when you read? Because you relate? Because you’re surprised? Because life is an absurd farce? In this session, you’ll learn what every funny personal essay needs in order to write, publish, and promote your own. We’ll analyze funny personal essays by our favorites to use their tricks, and you'll brainstorm what’s unusual and universal in your situations to carve out your stories. We’ll also gossip about pitching, publication hacks, and all my exes.
