What's Your Six Word Story of Love or Loss?

The Takeaway | Feb 7, 2013

As Valentine’s Day nears, we’re asking you for your biggest stories of love and loss. But there’s a catch: We want you to tell your story in just six words. Tweet your story with the hashtag #sixwords or call 877-8-MY-TAKE. 

We'll be collecting your replies on this page and sharing some of the most attention-grabbing memoirs — and complete stories behind them — on Valentine’s Day.

Larry Smith, editor of Smith Magazine, and pioneer of the six-word-memoir project explains why this format works so well when it comes to matters of the heart.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
