Five years ago, we created @nanoism to be the very first paying publication for literary Twitter fiction, celebrating the very best stories that fit in the cracks of your day. Five years later and Nanoism remains the longest continuously running magazine dedicated to #TwitterFiction of all time. We’ve published nearly six hundred stories from over four hundred writers and inspired people across the world to think big but write small.
Well that sounds a bit over the top, doesn’t it?
Really, we just appreciate a good story and love to celebrate it in the world’s favorite tiny format. In honor of our five-year anniversary and this year’s #TwitterFiction festival, we’re doing a contest. It’s simple:
- You send us one story of up to 140 characters (of course) by April 1st at 11:59 PM to contest@nanoism.net.
- No titles, please. We don’t publish them. The whole thing must fit in one tweet.
- We don’t want bios or cover letters or anything extra. We’ll get that from you later if we need it.
- You don’t pay us anything. You do spread the word and tell your friends.
- We anonymize the submissions and then pick our very favorite.
- The winner gets $100.
- Yes, that’s almost a dollar per character.
So send us something you love.
