''Six-Word Memoirs'' is a project founded by the U.S.-based online storytelling magazine ''Smith Magazine.'' Like that publication, ''Six-Word Memoirs'' seek to provide a platform for storytelling in all its forms. ==History== ''Smith'' was founded January 6, 2006, by Larry Smith and Tim Barko.〔 Grindeland, Sherry. ("Hey, Smiths: Your day has come," ''Seattle Times'' (January 6, 2005) ) 〕 Taking a cue from novelist Ernest Hemingway, who, according to literary legend, was once challenged to write a short story in only six words,〔 〕 ''Smith Magazine'' set out to do the same. Hemingway's six-word story read: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In November 2006, ''Smith's'' editors Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser gave the six-word story a personal twist, asking ''Smith'' readers to tell their life story in just six-words. ''Smith'' readers submitted their six-words via www.smithmag.net, and ''Smiths Twitter account. In early 2007, ''Smith'' signed with Harper Perennial to create the ''Six-Word Memoir'' book series. In May 2008, ''Smith'' announced three new ''Six-Word Memoir'' book projects: ''Six Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak'' (2009), then a book of Six-Word Memoirs by and for teens (''Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure''), and a second general ''Six-Word Memoir'' sequel to the original. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six-Word Memoirs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
