Larry Smith (editor)
Larry Smith (born September 17, 1968, in New Jersey) is an American author and editor, and publisher of SMITH Magazine. He is best known for developing "Six-Word Memoirs," a literary subgenre that took on a life of its own in popular culture as publications began holding reader contests and publishing the results. The form has been described as "American haiku." Smith credits Ernest Hemingway's reputed shortest story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn,” with inspiring the viral literary movement.
