We just wrapped up our family discussion—me, my wife, my adult son—of Gooseberries, using Swim as our guide and "professor." And we talked about how amazing it would be to be in your creative writing classes. This is as close as we'll get and for that I'm grateful and excited. Thanks, George!
I'm hoping to pop for the paid subscriber level in Jan. 2022, but loved A Swim in a Pond and have been recommending it to all my reader/writer friends. Thanks for rolling this out on Substack since I quit FB and Twitter years ago. Let's keep the snark back there in the social media bins. Best, Mike
I feel like I’m in a dream right now. Is this really happening?? George Saunders on Substack? You, us, people of a kinder short-story appreciating internet, prompts. I don’t have the words to express how happy this makes me but maybe somewhere along the way I’ll find them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This is a dream come true. Thank you George! OxO
Wait, it’s YOUR birthday but we’re getting the gift?!? Thank you :)

The first rule of Story Club? Tell everyone about Story Club!! So happy.
"We’ll begin to think about sentences differently..." ok, let's go!
I signed up and paid before I saw the free month(s). If it’s George, I’m there.
I'm so in I signed up twice.
Happy Birthday from Greece! What a lovely gift this is for all of us!
George, are you familiar at all with Nick Cave’s The Red Hand Files? This feels, in some manner, to have be offered in a similar kind of spirit.

You’re a real force of kindness, George Saunders! So glad you’re in this beautiful world with us.
