## Description

Five Minutes is a dynamic literary journal that invites readers and writers to capture poignant life moments in concise, hundred-word micro-memoirs. Founded in October 2020 by the Salem-based writing group Carrot Cake Writers, the journal has quickly established itself as a platform for storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on the everyday experiences that shape our lives. Each piece provides a snapshot of five minutes in someone's life, showcasing the richness of brief, meaningful moments through the diverse voices of its contributors. 

Edited by Susanna Baird and supported by a dedicated team, including managing editor Maria S. Picone, Five Minutes publishes new submissions weekly and encourages budding writers to share their reflections. With a strong emphasis on community and creativity, it also features a newsletter, "Five Minutes More," to keep subscribers updated and engaged. Whether it's heartwarming, humorous, or contemplative, Five Minutes celebrates the art of brevity and the power of personal storytelling. Join the conversation and share your own five minutes.
