Submissions are still open for Viable Paradise, the intensive science-fiction writers' boot-camp held on Martha's Vineyard every autumn. I've taught VP several times and always been impressed with the format, the setting, and the caliber of the students and the instructors. Viable Paradise lasts for a single week, and involves a dawn-to-dinner relentless set of tutorials, personal meetings, critiques, and exercises that aim to impart a career's worth of wisdom in a single week. You can become a successful science fiction writer without attending a workshop like this, and attending is no guarantee of success, but for the right writer, this can be the event that gets you from promising to published.
