One of My Fave Conferences of All Time for Early BirdS

My Dear Subscribers and Visitors: I just don't want you to miss this early bird offer if there is any chance you can attend this writers' conference. I have presented seminars there twice and managed to attend lots of the other presenters' seminars while I was there. No, I don't consider myself a humor writer, but I learned so much about this genre that I could apply to just about everything else I do--including marketing--to my advantage. I also highly recommend Dayton as a fun city to spend a free (travel?) day. The art museum there has a Picasso collection to die for! So here it is:     Join Us for a Celebration of Laughter and Learning What writers say: "I’ve attended plenty of retreats, conferences and workshops, and I usually feel a high after each one, but the high I feel after the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop is next-level. I feel like my brain is in a vortex, but it is a magical, life-affirming one."  Registration for the April 4-6 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at the University of Dayton opens at noon (ET) on Wednesday, Nov. 15. We've dubbed Nov. 15 Erma Day (E-Day), and encourage all to register at the one-day-only early bird rate of $499. After E-Day, the fee is $524. A registration link will be shared on Nov. 15.
