In 2011, Press 53 challenged their email subscribers to write a 53-word story in response to a prompt. Fewer than twenty subscribers responded. Thirteen years later, the free and monthly 53-Word Story Contest is used in classrooms from grade school to college with submissions each month in the hundreds, sometimes more than a thousand, from writers around the world. WHAT DWELLS BETWEEN THE LINES celebrates the 53-Word Story Contest by sharing fifty-three of the editors' favorite winning stories, while also sharing tips from writers and editors on how to write remarkably brief fiction.
