Are you ready, Bombeck Workshop ?!

Hope to see you there!!!

Wade Rouse, bestselling author of fiction and memoir, writes under both his given name, and under Viola Shipman, a pen name inspired by his grandmother. Shipman's books are hugely popular among Chelsea readers and we are thrilled to welcome Rouse to the Midwest Literary Walk!

"The key inside of you will open up the world if you just lock away your fear and open up your heart to a dream. All the power resides in you. All you have to do, as Erma wrote me nearly 50 years ago, is keep writing, laughing and believing."

We laughed. We cried. We sang “Delta Dawn” together. What an unforgettable closing night at the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop with novelist Wade Rouse, who also writes under his beloved grandmother’s name, Viola Shipman. #ebww2024
