George Saunders Joins Substack

George Saunders has become the latest author to join Substack, announcing the launch of his newsletter Story Club. The newsletter promises to "offer a masterclass in storytelling and the craft of short fiction," and is modeled after Saunders's latest book A Swim in the Pond in the Rain, in which he deconstructs a selection of short stories by other authors.

Story Club will focus on a new story each month, and posts will include essays and observations by the author, lessons on the elements of fiction, writing exercises, and interactive community features. Saunders also plans to answer reader questions on craft and the writing life, saying he hopes the newsletter will serve as "a conduit between my readers and myself."
