Do you love stories, novels, and poems, but can’t commit to a full book?

Then following these writers on Twitter is the perfect way to get just the right amount of words, thoughts, and feelings as you scroll about your day.

And just because it’s Twitter doesn’t mean anything’s watered down. After all, these are writers! They know how to get you, even in just 140 characters.
