Bombeck Workshop

Workshop attendees explored the world of self-publishing during Eva Lesko Natiello’s masterclass at the start of #ebww2026. One great tip: For nonfiction writers, building a following through free platforms — like blogs and newsletters — is key to unlocking future sales.

It’s showtime again! Brace yourself for a long weekend of Erma magic, with plenty of laughter and inspiration. Welcome, writers! #ebww2026 #univofdayton

For all the funny people traveling to Erma Bombeck's hometown over the next two days for the @univofdayton's Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop, safe travels! (Cartoon by @BobEckstein, our enormously talented artist-in-residence.) #ebww2026
