This information is accurate as of the fellowship year indicated for each fellow.
Edward Ball is a nonfiction writer who has published five books of history and biography, including Slaves in the Family (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1998), an account of his family’s 170-year history as slaveholders in South Carolina. Ball is interested in the place of history and memory in the lives of ordinary people. Since 2010, he has taught nonfiction writing, part-time, at Yale University.
