Original ”Saturday Night Live” writer and multiple Emmy Award winner Alan Zweibel will give the keynote talk.
Other featured presenters will include: Jeff Zaslow, Wall Street Journal columnist and best-selling author of “The Last Lecture”; novelist Adriana Trigiana, whose books include the bestseller “Big Stone Gap”; Gina Barreca, author of “It’s Not That I’m Bitter: How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Visible Panty Lines and Conquered the World,” and Ilene Beckerman, author of “Love, Loss and What I Wore.”
The workshop is co-sponsored by UD’s National Alumni Association, the College of Arts and Sciences, National Society of Newspaper Columnists, Greyden Press, the Dayton Marriott and the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop Endowment.
