Review
Elvis Costello, Angelina Jolie, Jason Schwartzman & Michelle Obama were all spotted recently with a new book believed to be a copy of SEVEN AT THE SEVENS, often described as Hemingway meets Kerouac and all hell breaks loose. The writers of WritersAnonymous.org are indeed living a satire of their own lives. However, this statement is both unsubstantiated & confusing. -The Onion, Chicago/NYC
It's in your best interest never to underestimate beautiful women or this beautiful book. -Student, NYU
The constraint of having to limit utterances to seven words is inspiring. They resemble the one-line poems of John Ashbery. Highly collaborative, like a friendly game in which everyone wins. The ultimate result is hilarity. -Writer's Digest
About the Author

However, together as members of WritersAnonymous.org, they created SEVEN AT THE SEVENS, which is currently available on Amazon as paperback, on Kindle, and audio CD.
Ever since WritersAnonymous.org was founded, a growing number of writers have been meeting weekly at classic old city pubs, hotel bars and cafes.

Eclectic and Wonderful
By Barry Eisler
I completely enjoyed this eclectic and wonderful book, which the authors were kind enough to give me when I spoke at Grub Street Writers in Boston this past November. I wouldn't have thought a book grouped around the concept of seven-word observations, poems, stories, and aphorisms would be so engaging, but I would have been wrong about that (and I should have known better, as I suppose you could say the same thing about haiku).
If you love writing, this book will make you feel connected with a passionate and funny (and anonymous, though their bios provide delightful glimpses) group of people who share your love. The illustrations are memorable, and sometimes haunting. The quotes from Steve Jobs, Hemingway, and others will inspire you. I'm indebted to the authors for introducing me to the work of Katherine Mansfield -- her short story The Fly is a magic act. Magic.
A particularly fine read in a favorite coffee shop (mine is Hatou in Tokyo). Also goes with Charlie Haden's American Dream. I hope you'll have as much fun with this slim volume as I did.

Have you ever pondered how challenging it is to convey your thoughts as briefly and efficiently as possible?
By lily
Authors: WritersAnonymous TM
Editor: Grant Trenton Gardner
Illustrators: Darren Buchanan and Kathleen Whipple
ISBN: 978-0-615-69271-1
Have you ever pondered how challenging it is to convey your thoughts as briefly and efficiently as possible? Could you do it in seven words? Try it and see how difficult it can be, yet on the other hand, you may actually like it.
This is exactly what a group of writers do as they meet every week at The Seven Pubs, an eating and drinking establishment on Beacon Hill in Boston. The group known as WritersAnonymous have been inspired by Good Gray Ghost, Walt Whitman and the spirit of Ernest Hemingway, and their own burning desires to tell a story in seven words. The culmination of these writings was the publication of their Seven At The Sevens: A Collection of Seven-Word Stories, Memoirs and Poems, which are described as self-contained entities, or as Hemingway believed, only the beginning of something more.
As you savor these succinct musings, you realize how powerful imagery and meaning can turn out to be and , as mentioned in the introduction of this delightful tome, you do not need a lot of words to convey something poignant and powerful. This is particularly in evidence when you write when you are sad or despair "because in such depths lie the rite of passage to places where the greatest truths are revealed.( Good writing not only demands originality, keen observation and wit, it demands emotion!)." It was Mark Twain who brilliantly summed it all up when he declared: "the difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter-it's the difference between the lightening bug and the lightning." To put it another way, it is above all the brevity of the language that is the engine that provides the inspiration that perhaps, as the authors hope, will enable you to embrace the challenge with both trepidation and delight.
No doubt, readers can be forgiven for being suspicious of a collection of seven word reflections from a group of unknown voices. However, if you automatically assume this of Seven At The Sevens: A Collection of Seven-Word Stories, Memoirs and Poems, you will certainly deprive yourself of a pleasurable reading experience. Just consider some of the following to understand what I am trying to convey and I am sure you will agree that no verbal flab invades the images.
"Always on schedule but still misses deadlines." -Adair Willow
"Creative writing, feels like holding your breath." -Kent Ethan Clarke
"Cell phone died. So did social life." -Lime Anderson
"Going against the grain smooths the surface." -Lime Anderson
"I'm recyclable. Been used over and over." -Lime Anderson
"I wish someone could proofread my life." -Adair Willow
"Making money was an impossible career goal." -Uncommon Bostonian
Adding to the collection's charm and cleverly engaging the reader in pondering the penetrating concepts of the texts are the many illustrations contributed by Darren Buchanan and Kathleen Whipple. And not to be left out, the editor also includes a collection of seven-words selected from the not-so-anonymous that were likewise at one time anonymous such as Louisa May Alcott, Neal Cassady, Rebecca Lee Crumplet, E.E. Cummings, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickson, Bob Dylan, Ralph Aldo Emerson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Robert Frost, Ernest Hemingway, O.Henry and others. It would have been a pity if we had ignored these great writers because they were unknowns.

Extremely Entertaining Collection of Seven Word Stories, Memoirs, and Poems
By Josh Howard
If you had to summarize your life in seven words, could you do it? Would you give a broad overview or focus on something specific? Think about how difficult it would be to make each word count. Somehow, some way, the folks at Writer's Anonymous have put together an outstanding collection of people who have done just that. Personally, I would have focused on my love of pizza and beer, but the authors of this book have chosen more profound entries. Either way, this is an extremely enjoyable read, and puts life into a different perspective.
Not only do you get a collection of memoirs, but you also get some truly entertaining seven word stories and poems as well. All of this wrapped up in a well designed paperback with a great photo on the cover. How can you go wrong?
I can't recommend this book enough. Be sure to pick up your own copy, because I'm not letting you borrow mine!
