Hey EWN — Thanks for the Six-Word Memoir mention. Love your site. And I’m sure your community would be interested in SMITH Mag’s newest book project, “The Moment.” t’s described below, with a link to more info & examples.
The Moment from SMITH Magazine
The Moment will be a book of personal stories about how a single moment—a single, decision, happenstance, accident, call, conversation, tweet, text, or email that had a profound effect on you. SMITH books always features a combo that’s pretty unique, with famous people (Sarah Silverman, Dave Eggers, Steven Colbert, Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Jane Goodall), alongside unknown folks (most of whom have never been published anywhere). If you had a couple hundreds words about a “Moment” (or as many as 750) or a photograph, postcard, or ticket stub with a caption that tells your story, we’d be so delighted to include you in this book (out next fall). Of course, we’ll include your bio at the bottom of your contribution. Submissions are due by Dec 15, and the book will be published by HarperCollins in Fall 2011.
