What is Twist - mini short stories?

Twist is a mobile app focused on extremely short stories and fiction called "twists". It allows users to quickly write, publish, and read what it calls "mini tales" of typically less than 500 words.

The app has a simple and intuitive interface for both reading and writing twists. Users can write their own stories with rich text formatting, photos, tags, and more, then publish them to the community. There is also a discover feed that surfaces popular, recent, and recommended stories to read. Additional features include following other users and favorites or liking twists.

Twist labels itself as a platform for short fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and more. Some of the extremely short story formats you can find include flash fiction, drabbles, micro fiction, nano tales, and 6-word stories. Writers of all kinds are encouraged to use Twist as an outlet for their shortest creative writing pieces that might not find a home elsewhere.

Overall, Twist differentiates itself by solely focusing miniature stories in easy to consume formats. The constraints inspire creativity among the writers, while the easily digestible bites of fiction make it easy for readers to fit into spare moments of their day.
