About 400 Words

400 Words is a storytelling project. It is a print magazine and a website, consisting of true stories, none over 400 words, by ordinary people on assigned themes. It's about the documentation of everyday life, saying a lot by saying a little. You can learn more, or order a copy, or tell a story of your own.

Update on Compulsions

Just a quick update: the deadline for submitting to the ‘Compulsions’ issue is the end of January, 2006. Write your pieces and get ‘em in now! For those of you who’ve already written, editorial responses will go out in February. Thanks everyone. Copies of Issue 1 are still for sale, of course, with free shipping. Hop on over to the ’shop’ link to get yours.

One other thing: the art show at Nexus in Philadelphia will be up through January 22. There is a longish piece on it in the Philadelphia weekly this week, so check it out if you’re in the area.

Finally, Four Hundred Words is available or soon to be available at one more outlet: Skylight Books in Los Angeles. Oh, and if you’re a store and you want to carry us, by all means get in touch with me or with our distributor, Microcosm Publishing.

Happy New Year, all.
