Author David Mitchell, the man who penned Cloud Atlas and number9dream, has decided to branch out into the world of e-books… or at least e-tweets.

The author has opted to publish a short story in a series of 280 tweets.

The short book, titled The Right Sort, began rolling out on his official Twitter account at 7am this morning, and will be published in two bouts per day.

The story is being documented on a live feed by publisher Sceptre Books ahead of Mitchell’s September release The Bone Clocks.
