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 read about this newsletter from another author and was delighted to sign up for the year. I’m just a nurse, and have been one for 41 years, and used to write a blog about my experiences with death, as I am in hospice nursing. I have always wanted to write a book, and have just never been able to get it off the ground. Just pages of ideas with no form or function. I look forward to this. It’s an early Christmas gift to myself.
This is a dream come true. Thank you George! OxO
Wait, it’s YOUR birthday but we’re getting the gift?!? Thank you :)
I LOVE THIS CLUB! Thank you sweet George!
I’m very excited about this. Welcome to Substack, George!

"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.
Beautiful! Can't wait to be part of an active writing community!
