Could you shorten your book into a 140-character Tweet for Twitter? Great classics are being reduced to haiku-like synopses.
Some examples:
The Catcher in the Rye -jdsalinger: Rich kid thinks everyone is fake except for his little sister. Has breakdown. @markchapman is now following @johnlennon
Pride and Prejudice – janeaustin: Woman meets man called Darcy who seems horrible. He turns out to be nice really. They get together.
Bridget Jones’s Diary – helenfielding: RT @janeaustin Woman meets man called Darcy who seems horrible. He turns out to be nice really. They get together.
Is this a new art form?
