Viable Paradise is a week-long science fiction and fantasy writing workshop held annually on Martha's Vineyard off the New England coast.
If you've ever wanted to publish in the field of science fiction and fantasy, this is one week that could change your life.
Don't think you qualify for an advanced-level course? As you'll learn at VP: don't sell yourself short. Your job is to write the story and send it in. Let the editor decide how to make the cuts.
This site is an unofficial guide to Viable Paradise cataloging information by and about VP's graduates. If you're looking for more information about VP, you've come to the right place.
