Screen Shot 2014-06-01 at 10.21.14 PMSix-Word Memoirs began as a contest in collaboration with Twitter in 2006, asking people to tweet their response to a simple challenge: “Can you tell the story of your life in six words?” Seven books and more than one million Six-Word stories later, Six Words® has become an easy and inspired form of engagement to get to the essence of anything.“Everyone has a story, what’s yours?” 

Friday, June 6—1:30pm EDT
Prompt: “What’s Your Six-Word Memoir?”
Tweet: My #sixwordmemoir is “SIX WORDS OF YOURS GO HERE” #sixwords @sixwords
