Cat GIFs, silly memes and WhatsApp forwards. The year 2013 saw attention spans dwindling, and stories struggled to stay in our feeds. So we hand-picked a bunch of stellar writers, shrunk stories to 140 characters and put them out for the world to read. And what started as a page on Facebook slowly became the Internet's most loved micro-fiction platform.
Now reaching millions every week, Terribly Tiny Tales continues to explore newer formats, with writers and readers from around the globe. We believe the best stories aren't just the ones that move you while reading. They're the ones that stay.

Never upon a time, there was nothing.
Then once came along and the stories never stopped.
What you hold is a collection of some of the finest tiny tales from over 100 writers. Each written in 140 characters or fewer, waiting to stir a world inside you.
Squeeze it between your favourite titles, gift it to someone really special or simply take it with you wherever you go. This one's for keeps, on a tiny shelf in your heart. Promise.
Terribly Tiny Tales, the Internet's most loved micro-fiction platform, and Penguin come together for the first time on the same page.
