It All Changed in An Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs from Writers Famous & Obscure
- Your vote:

- Description:
- We'll have a short riff on the history of the Six-Word Memoir phenom and read a few of our favorite six-worders from our new book, "IT ALL CHANGED IN AN INSTANT: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure." Then we'll ask anyone in the audience to come up and offer their "Six Words on the Digital Life," with a little backstory (hence answering the "10 questions" part of this panelpicker as I've filled it out below). Perhaps tied to this reading, or separately (streamed on the walls or a few flat screens?), we could showcase some of the best six-worders on the Digital Life. Some examples: http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords-digital-life/
