Extractions: What is NobleFusion? The short answer is "a group of writers committed to improving their skills, selling their work and making it easier for new talent to find their place in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror writing community". A longer answer is that we're a group of friends who've banded together to give and receive quality critiques, serve as supplemental muses and try to unravel the secrets of the publishing industry. We work hard to get to know the editors and publishers, recruit new members to share our visions and search out new opportunities. We want to write the words that spark imaginations and give readers the same sense of wonder we feel when we discover a great new story. But the most accurate answer, at least to me, is hinted at in this quote from Juvenal: "An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many and grows inveterate in their insane hearts." Writingparticularly speculative, fantastic writingis a form of happy insanity that is better shared. If you feel it, you should be one of us.

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 This fall, Jeff Carver and I will be teaching a science fiction/fantasy/horror writing workshop at Pandemonium Books and Games in Central Square, Cambridge. As the flyer says, this course will be "taught by science fiction professionals to show you how to better write and sell your sf. fantasy and horror stories and novels!" Both Jeff and I have taught sf workshop courses in the past, and I, for one, found them extremely valuable as a new writer back in the day the day being the late 70s, when I took courses from Hal Clement, and then an intensive workshop taught by Samuel Delaney, Norman Spinrad and Carol Emshwiller. These courses really showed me (a) that I had the stuff to be a writer, and (b) just how much hard work it was both to write and to properly pursue publication. Writing is a solitary business. You sit, you write, you try not to talk on the phone or surf the net or get lost in a hundred other distractions so you can write. Having these workshops taught me how to focus and discipline myself so I could take the tools I already had and use them to become a professional. And this is what Jeff and I would like to do for another generation of sf writers.

Viable Paradise is a long-running, week-long science fiction/fantasy/horror writing workshop held every autumn on Martha's Vineyard, a writerly bootcamp that combines a high instructor-student ratio with an incredibly packed schedule to deliver a career's worth of information in seven days. I taught the workshop last year (and I'm teaching again this year) and I was amazed by the caliber of the students and the effectiveness of the methodology. There's about one instructor for every four students, and every student has two manuscripts workshopped by four of the instructors (along with classmates), then meets one-on-one with the other instructors. There are long daily lecture/seminars, exercises and special tutorials, and so on. There are big communal meals, late-night hikes to see the bioluminescent jellyfish (Martha's Vineyard is a stunning place to hold a writing workshop and it's awfully lovely at that time of the year) and a group reading of Shakespeare. Steve Gould (author of Jumper and Reflex ) is one of the long-serving instructors at Viable Paradise, and he's been doing a regular podcast of interviews with VP alumni and instructors called
