Tweet Your Heart Out: Literary "Twestival" in Edinburgh

From the creators of the West Port Book Festival, which operates in and around Edinburgh, Scotland's vibrant West Port bookselling community, comes a great new experiment in combining the world of poetry with the world of technology. They're calling it the world's first "Literary Twestival". Basically, it'll be a reading of all manner of creative works posted to Twitter. The WPBF has issued a number of writing challenges that you yourself can tweet with the hashtag #LitTwest.

Many of you have heard about this already, but for those who haven't, the Twestival will be held in two days on Aug. 14th at 8 PM GMT at the Tea Tree Tea Cafe. Stop by if you live in Britain; it sounds like it'll be worth the trip! If you don't live close enough to participate in person, read through the challenges in order to participate from afar. You never know when someone will like your work and decide to read it aloud. They even allow live tweeting at the event, so you can keep on working up to the last possible minute. Good luck!
