"Six Word Memoir, What a Challenge!"


Long-time IWW member Jeannette Cezanne posted a note to the WRITING discussion list saying, "I used to teach a writing class in which I gave an assignment: fiction or nonfiction is fine, but the whole story has to be told in 25 words. Exactly 25 words. Try it; it's not easy. Smith Magazine has outdone even that: they're down to six! Try it out."

And if you work short, you should think about subscribing to the free newsletter Flash Fiction Flash. Simply click here and send a blank e-mail.

Of course, perhaps the most prestigious market for short creative nonfiction is
Brevity, the little brother of Creative Nonfiction Magazine.
