Deckle Edge Workshop - THE PRINCIPLE OF MINIMAL DEPARTURE: World Building in "Edgewater County"

In this workshop participants will explore the construction of an interconnected and consistent fictional universe as understood through the concepts of minimal and maximal departure from ordinary reality. The outcome/product of this workshop will be a thorough understanding of strategies for imagining, defining, populating, and describing a fictional but consistent "world platform" on which to build long-form or serialized narratives. This workshop is best suited for novices, novelists, and writers who are blocked.

James D. McCallister is the author of two novels, King's Highway (Red Letter Press, 2007) and Fellow Traveler (Muddy Ford Press, 2012), as well as a dozen short stories and a wide variety of creative nonfiction. A two-time South Carolina Fiction Project honoree as well as a Faulkner-Wisdom and Saturday Evening Post short story finalist, McCallister adjuncts in creative writing at Midlands Technical College. In 2014 his papers relating to Fellow Traveler were accessioned by McHenry Library, University of California-Santa Cruz, as part of its Grateful Dead Special Collection.
