Larry Smith
Larry Smith ('Threw spaghetti at wall: some stuck.') is the founder and editor of SMITH Magazine, and its younger cousin, SMITH Teens. SMITH Magazine is best known for launching the Six-Word Memoir® project, which is a bestselling series of five books and a global phenomenon. Anticipating the microblogging explosion, SMITH originally launched the Six-Word Memoir project in November 2006 in partnership with Twitter with a simple online challenge asking: 'Can you tell your life story in six words?' Larry has been called a 'luminary in the story world' on the A Storied Life blog, one of the 'most interesting people of the day' on CNN, and has been interviewed on storytelling and the power of the short form on The Happiness Project, True/Slant, The Gothamist, among other places.
