Larry Smith (born September 17, 1968) is an American author and editor, and publisher of Smith Magazine. He is best known for developing the best-selling book series Six-Word Memoirs, a literary subgenre that took on a life of its own in popular culture as publications began holding reader contests and publishing the results. The form has been described as "American haiku." Smith credits the short story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn", with inspiring the viral literary movement.
