How to Create and Share Your Own Longreads Page

Longreads is powered by the #longreads hashtag on Twitter, so if you’d like to create your own page, just tweet a link to a story from your Twitter account and include the #longreads tag in your tweet.

This will automatically create a page for you at longreads.com/yourtwitterusernamehere.

No sign-in or registration required. Feel free to share your Longreads Page with fellow readers. (Tweet a link with the #longreads tag so the whole community can see your story picks.)

Before you get started, take a look at what other people are sharing with the #longreads hashtag, and check out how the stories look in our Community Picks section.

What should you share? Pieces that inspire you—non-fiction or fiction—and you can include links to features that you’ve written or published. (It’s all about the right mix.) 

Here are a few examples: 

Jenna Wortham (NY Times)

Alexander Chee (author)

Michelle Legro (Lapham’s Quarterly editor) 

Mother Jones (publisher)

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (book publisher)

Maud Newton (blogger, writer, reader)

New and old stories are both welcome—they should just be over 1,500 words and on a single web page (non-paginated is preferred, no PDFs or EPUBs, please).
