Larry Smith: podcast appearances and interviews

Larry Smith, born on September 17, 1968, is an American author, editor, and publisher of Smith Magazine. He is best known for creating the best-selling book series Six-Word Memoirs, a literary format that gained popularity through reader contests and various publications. The brevity and expressiveness of this format have led it to be described as 'American haiku.' Smith has acknowledged that the short story attributed to Ernest Hemingway, 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn,' served as an inspiration for this viral literary movement. In addition to his work on Six-Word Memoirs, Smith is affiliated with Tokyo Electron US Holdings Inc. and is recognized for his contributions to contemporary literature and storytelling techniques.
