Fitzgerald (<a href="http://twitter.com/magicandrew">@magicandrew</a>) argues that Twitter is a platform ripe for experimentation and that we are only just in the early stages of learning what we can do with the 140 character tweet. He draws on examples of authors experimenting with Twitter, including <a href="http://twitter.com/Egangoonsquad">Jennifer Egan</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/tejucole">Teju Cole.</a>

He will be joined by Deborah Treisman, fiction editor of <em>The New Yorker </em>(<a href="http://twitter.com/nyerfiction">@NYerFiction</a>), to discuss <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/a-jennifer-egan-original-tweet-by-tweet/">the publication</a> of Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Egan's short story <em>Black Box</em> via Twitter this past May.
