Viable Paradise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viable Paradise is a weeklong workshop for new and aspiring science fiction and fantasy writers. The first was held in 1996.

The workshop is held every October on Martha's Vineyard. Present instructors are Debra Doyle, Cory Doctorow, Steven Gould, James Patrick Kelly, James D. Macdonald, Laura J. Mixon, Patrick Nielsen Hayden, and Teresa Nielsen Hayden. Past instructors include Lawrence Watt-Evans, Maureen McHugh, and Elizabeth Moon.

Viable Paradise was founded in 1996 by longtime fan and Martha's Vineyard resident Rae Montor, as an adjunct to a small science fiction convention, also called Viable Paradise, which she was running on the island. In 1998, Montor unexpectedly died a week before before the third annual workshop and convention. Since then, the convention has been discontinued and the workshop has been run by a committee of its instructors and volunteer staff.
