Our Evergreen Philosophy

Hello, Author believes that books are evergreen – always available for discussion. The authors who so graciously offer us their words have an oeuvre that extends beyond their most current book. For this reason, Hello, Author is not necessarily concerned with only authors who have new books out or even a writer’s latest release.

Our evergreen philosophy means that what we talk about here is likely to be whatever book interested the interviewer, as well as any topical detours beyond literature and the writing life that happen to arise during the course of conversation.

Hello, Author encourages its readers to buy the latest book by the authors here whose work and words interest them. But we also encourage you to look into the books that came before.

Who is behind Hello, Author?

The founder and interviewer Hello, Author is Randal Eldon Greene. He is the author of one short novel and a forthcoming short story collection from corona\samizdat. Greene is the administrator of Facebook’s largest group for Literary Fiction writers. He holds a degree in English and Anthropology from the University of South Dakota. Greene currently resides in western Iowa with his wife and daughter.
