“We're big fans of the Six-Word Memoir series, from SMITH mag's original to stories of love and heartbreak and the newest: It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure. We even tackled the Big Apple in six words ourselves, over on Flavorwire. But we're excited to see what other creatives come up with tonight, whether it be prose, music, or video.”
Leah Taylor, Flavorpill

Check out "Your 'Hood in Six Words" over on Flavorwire.
Amy Sohn, A.J. Jacobs and others
When Ernest Hemingway wrote the six-word novel For Sale. Baby’s Shoes. Never Worn, he didn’t know that he would inspire one of the hottest storytelling trends of the Internet age; 200,000 online submissions; and a new book called It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure. Be part of a unique live event that fuses confessional culture, writing, music, video and (indeed brief) audience participation. Join Amy Sohn, the author of Prospect Park West, A.J. Jacobs, the author of The Guinea Pig Diaries and others, for an evening of very short true tales about the Big Apple.
