A peer-to-peer, professional science fiction writer's workshop in Texas modeled after the east coast Milford Writer's Workshop. Writers who have attended Turkey City include Ted Chiang, Paul Di Filippo, Cory Doctorow, Andy Duncan, George Alec Effinger, Mark Finn, Eileen Gunn, Leigh Kennedy, John Kessel, George R. R. Martin, Chris Nakashima-Brown, Chad Oliver, Lawrence Person, Tom Reamy, Jessica Reisman, Lewis Shiner, John Shirley, Bruce Sterling, Lisa Tuttle, Steven Utley, Jeff VanderMeer, Howard Waldrop, Don Webb, and Connie Willis, among others.
