Tweet Tweet Nonfiction

Many people are confused by Brevity’s relationship with Creative Nonfiction the print magazine.  Well, let us put it this way: we read submissions separately, have offices in different states, have separate production teams, and we are better looking.  CNF allows us to piggyback for free on their server space (thanks), and in return, they steal all of our good ideas, like the whole idea of brevity.  Thus, the new CNF twitter challenge:

Forget 6-word memoirs. Can you tell a true story in 130 characters or less? Prove it. Trend topic #cnftweet, and we’ll RT our fave everyday!

We don’t tweet here at Brevity, because you have to draw the line somewhere, but if you want to follow CNF on Twitter, here’s where you can go: http://twitter.com/cnfonline
