Randal believes the world of Literary Arts is an active and thriving place, and he is always getting his hands in the ink. He is the founder of Hello, Author in which he publishes his interviews and conversations with today’s writers. Greene is also the administrator of Literary Fiction Writers, Facebook’s largest group devoted to writers of Lit Fic. Locally, Greene co-founded and runs Tri-State Writers, a writing critique club for local authors in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
In the past, Randal worked as a prose submissions reader for South Dakota Review and Heart & Mind Zine. In 2005 he engineered and produced Microwave Souls, an album of spoken-word poetry, distributed by the Vermillion Literary Project. He also co-founded the Vermillion Writers’ Guild and served as its president for two years. He’s a member of Sigma Tau Delta—the national English Honors Society. He wrote a children’s readers’ theater play, Humpty Dumpty Goes to the Beach, which was performed in 2015 and 2016 by his wife’s ESL summer school class for their Books on the Beach celebration.
Randal’s current work-in-progress is a novel about a death metal rock band. Emphasis on the death.
