What particular moment changed your life? Share your story at this Facebook link for a chance to win some free books. Smith Magazine is collecting stories of “a single, decision, happenstance, accident, call, conversation, or email” that changed readers lives for a new book.
Check it out: “Welcome to ‘The Moment,’ stories of how a single moment changed your life in a profound way. Your Moment might be a split-second decision, something you witnessed, a message sent or received, a literal or mental discovery. Moments can be serious or silly, as short as a tweet, as long as 700 words, told via a single image or illustration, series of photos, or a scanned letter or post-it note.”
Share your particular moment at this Facebook link and you could win a free copy of the forthcoming The Moment book or a free copy of It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs. We will randomly select two lucky winners from the Facebook submissions. Complete contest details follow below.
