What is Discord?

Discord is a text and video chat app used by millions of people to create and participate in communities around the world. We use Discord to discuss writing, respond to writing prompts, hold weekly check-ins, and announce events.

We also use Discord’s video feature for online meetings with our out-of-town members, or those who can’t make regular in-person meetings.
