Sarah Carroll is an award-winning Pasifika and queer writer and producer based on Dharug Land in Western Sydney.
Most recently, they worked as a Development Producer at Purple Carrot Entertainment through the Screen Australia Enterprise Program.
Sarah is the creator of acclaimed solo shows Cherry (Sydney Fringe Award Winner, Hollywood Fringe Nominee) and Unkissed (Shopfront ArtsLab). Their debut play Fekei was longlisted for the Griffin Award in 2024, commissioned through Midsumma Festival’s Queer Imaginings program in 2025, and premiered at Qtopia Sydney as part of the Loading Dock Theatre Season.
Their writing has been published by ACON’s Stories Out West, The Writing Zone and Sweatshop Literacy Movement with NewSouth Publishing.

Passionate about championing underrepresented voices with sparkle, humour, and heart, Sarah creates stories that centre queer, Pasifika, and culturally diverse experiences. They are eager to expand into television writing and are seeking opportunities in writers’ rooms, particularly as a note-taker or emerging writer on comedy, coming-of-age, and character-driven projects.
