William Carroll Writers’ Festival
Hosted by Norfolk State University Dept. of English and Foreign Languages
The festival’s namesake, Dr. William Carroll, was an NSU alumnus and a member of the English faculty for decades. He was a foundation of local creative writing, publishing numerous poems and presenting many papers on literature. In his name, the English department holds a writing festival for the school and the community that features BIPOC writers, especially those local or connected to the Hampton Roads area.
