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.

Welcome, Stumblers

Wow — we’ve been getting a lot of traffic this last week from Stumbleupon.com. Welcome everybody, and if you like what you see, please thumbs-up the page so that others continue to stumble here.

Also, New York City area readers, please take note: the launch party for the Compulsions issue has been scheduled! Please come celebrate with us on Wednesday, November 29, from 7-9pm at the fabulous Club Midway, 25 Avenue B at 2nd Street in Manhattan. Stay tuned here for news about drink specials, further gushing from me, etc., etc.

Finally, the Compulsions issue has been having a longer-than-usual travail through the printer. The books are shipping out to me soon, and they’re coming from western Canada on a truck. So that means…ten days? Soon, anyway. If you pre-ordered or are waiting for your contributor’s copy, have no fear. They’re on the way!
