Viable Paradise is a writing workshop that takes place on Martha’s Vineyard every fall. It gives aspiring writers a chance to participate in workshops with “the next generation of science fiction and fantasy writers.” You get a chance to consult with some incredible instructors as well. The following page will help you find out more about the experience and how to apply.
It’s also a place for me to link to some profiles of my fellow VP XIIIers!
