I was a first-time faculty member at this year’s Erma
Bombeck Writers’ Workshop (EBWW) and I left with a respectable amount of swag: tee
shirt, tote bag, and my personal fav, the commemorative wine glass. Let it not
be said that the EBWW doesn’t know its audience: Women who write, love wine;
and lots of it. At the Thursday night
dinner, the wine glasses had been delicately imprinted with “Erma Bombeck
Writers’ Workshop.” Every woman in the room said to herself or one of her tablemates,
“Oh, I am so stealing this.”
