PALnet is a Discord server that hosts the Minnow Support Project. The Fiction Workshop is one of the groups on that server. As for how it leads to publication, we have two professional editors in the Workshop that can help you through the process. One of them, Carol, is an editor for the Perihelion Science Fiction Magazine. One of the pieces I wrote for here caught her eye and is now in the running to be a published piece for their September issue.

There's a wealth of experience you can draw from if you wanted to self-publish, as well. We also offer proofing and editing as a free service.

If you haven't already, here's a link to join the PALnet server:
