There are 140 stories, each 140 words long.
Each story was inspired by the first picture I saw when I
opened my Twitter feed on that day. The dates are preserved and give an
indication of how long it has taken to produce this and turn it into a book.
These stories are created to be varied, thought-provoking,
laughter-producing and tear-jerking.
This anthology of women's fiction, this collection of very
short stories, some might say a flash collection, is thought-provoking and each
story is based upon a tweet. Except that each piece is 140 words long and not
140 characters.
They were collected over three years and edited for another
nine months.
Gill James writes novels, short stories and flash fiction.
She is published by Butterfly, Continuum, How to, The
Professional and Higher Partnership, Tabby Cat and edits for Bridge House,
CaféLit, Chapeltown and The Red
Telephone.
She is a part-time lecturer in Creative Writing at Salford
University.
