The Association of Writers & Writing Programs’ current official Board of Directors page lists the organization’s officers and directors. It names Travis Kurowski as Chair, DeMisty D Bellinger as First Vice Chair, Kris Bigalk as Second Vice Chair, Jenny Yang Cropp as Treasurer, and Michele Morano as Secretary. Lucinda Roy is not listed among the current officers or directors on that page. That directly contradicts the statement that she is the Vice President of AWP.

Virginia Tech’s official faculty page for Lucinda Roy identifies her current status as “Emerita Alumni Distinguished Professor” and describes her as “an Alumni Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech”; it does not list her as director of creative writing. Virginia Tech’s current creative-writing program pages also name other faculty in leadership/contact roles: the undergraduate Creative Writing major page lists Dawn Knight as the contact, and the M.F.A. in Creative Writing page lists Janine Joseph as “Director, M.F.A. in Creative”. Together, those current official university pages contradict the statement that Roy is currently the Director of Creative Writing at Virginia Tech.

Current official sources show that Lucinda Roy’s novel count is higher than two. Virginia Tech’s official faculty page says her latest novel is The Freedom Race and its bookshelf on the same page includes Lady Moses, The Hotel Alleluia, and Flying the Coop. Macmillan’s official book pages further identify The Freedom Race and Flying the Coop as Roy novels, with Flying the Coop described as a sequel to The Freedom Race. Since those are in addition to Lady Moses and The Hotel Alleluia, the statement that Roy has published only two novels is incorrect.

Current authoritative sources list Lucinda Roy’s 1995 poetry collection under the two-word title The Humming Birds. Virginia Tech’s official faculty page names it that way, and WorldCat—the library catalog operated by OCLC—also lists the 1995 book as The humming birds. That contradicts the one-word form The Hummingbirds used here.

Authoritative sources give Lucinda Roy’s 2009 nonfiction book a different full title from the one used here. Virginia Tech’s official faculty page lists the memoir as No Right to Remain Silent: What We’ve Learned from the Tragedy at Virginia Tech, and WorldCat lists the same title for the book’s editions. That contradicts the title form No Right to Remain Silent: The Tragedy at Virginia Tech used in the article.
