Number eight of Substack’s top 20 Creative Writing Sites
Flight School is like learning from a bestselling writer in action, which she is. Rich and deep, her Substack is for those ready to push themselves as writer.
Flight School with Jennifer Lauck is a safe place for you, the passionate and devoted writer of all levels to discuss, create, and think about the promises and perils of creative writing.
Honest, soul-searching, and often surprisingly intimate posts from my retreat in a remote fishing village where I grow my own food, purify my own water, make my own bread, all while asking big questions about life, God, and purpose.
I post exclusive Writing Lab posts and prompts, Open Mic 🎤 posts to create community sharing, and Behind the Scenes glimpses into process and life.
Writing is lonely business, especially when in search of human truth. We need a community we can lean into. We need fellows we can trust. We need examples.
You get all that and more here.
For free, you’ll receive:
The Open Mic 🎤posts inviting the community to share, like this one on writer’s block, real or imagined?
Behind the Scenes posts that give an insider view into my own process and life like this one on a stalker on my land that turned into a teaching on the antagonistic force
Comments on work you share as part of the Open Mic, which you can see in this post where I help a writer deal with her struggle with anxiety, and this post where I help a writer get out of his head and into his scene.
