Larry Smith
Founder of the Six-Word Memoir Project
I am the founder of The Six-Word Memoir Project, a series of books, live event programs, and a teaching tool embraced by educators. I have led 100+ workshops with students of all ages across the country. The most meaningful part of my work is how educators have embraced Six-Word Memoirs to engage and connect their students. In a TEDx talk in 2015, I tell the story of Six-Word Memoirs.
