To celebrate the release our next Six-Word Memoir book, It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure, SMITH Mag is having an event at the 92nd Street Y on Jan. 24 and holding a contest right now: What's your Six-Word Memoir about your life in New York? From "Husband. Kids. Park Slope. You know," to "Girls from the Bronx are different" to "No, Mom, haven't met him yet..." (by former HuffPo editor Rachel Sklar) to the words of Neil LaBute who says, "Writing is easy. Life is hard," everyone has a New York story. And everyone loves a prize. We have a bunch of great ones.

• SIX people will have their Six-Word Memoir turned into a song by Michael Hearst of One Ring Zero;
• SIX people will get free admission to the event and be invited on stage to read his or her memoir;
• SIX people will be picked, at random, to win a gift package of Harper books, including the newest Six-Word Memoir book, It All Changed in an Instant.

Submit your six on yourself/NYC in the comments area of the original post on SMITH by January 18, 5pm EST: http://ow.ly/SjVi
