The San Francisco based writer, who has failed to find a publisher for his novel, is instead tweeting lines from 140-characters at a time on the microblogging website.
Stewart came up with the plan with his agent and estimates it will take approximately 3,700 tweets to fully publish the 95,000 word novel.
'The French Revolution' tells the story of a San Francisco family "forging its place in history".
The novelist said he doesn't expect anyone to read through his entire work on Twitter, but hopes that it could lead to a couple of sales for those who are interested in reading more.
'The French Revolution' can be purchased for Amazon's Kindle for $1.99, .
, Stewart wrote that he is releasing the novel on Twitter as part of a social experiment, to "see how the world reacts to a long-form tale told in snippets".
He said: "The one thing I've learned about Twitter is that people will actually read bursts of 140 characters or fewer.
"I can get instant feedback from readers, and we can discuss the intricacies of the characters and plot twists as they develop.
It's an ubercool way to grow a community and, ultimately, a market for my work."
Stewart is working on his next novel, 'Duct Tape', about a homeless man in search of his imaginary son.
