Rose A. Valenta - I attend the bi-annual Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at the University of Dayton, am a member of the Robert Benchley Society, and the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
Erma was the greatest American humorist of our generation, and an inspiration to me.
My writing experience is extensive. I wrote for a subsidiary of McGraw-Hill for 12 years, as a technical staff writer and freelanced for other industry publications.
