About
Hi! I'm Rory Green.
I'm a writer, editor and coder who lives and works on Gadigal land.
Arts work
Currently:
- Online Editor for Voiceworks
- Facilitator for Toolkits: Digital Storytelling
Previously:
- Codirector for Subbed In

Writing
I write poetry and electronic literature about memory, place and pop culture. In 2016 I took part in Express Media's inaugural Toolkits: Poetry program, and in 2019 I was selected for Running Dog's inaugural poetry micro-residency.
Here are some things I have written:
- futurity blues, Running Dog
- sentiment anomaly, The Lifted Brow
- mammoth, Rabbit Poetry issue 24, LGBTQIA+
- golem, Plumwood Mountain Volume 5 Number 2
My current main writing project is Otherwise Pokedex, a Tinyletter I have been publishing since January 2017 with the aim to publish a poem for each of the 151 first generation Pokemon.
I also make zines! My infozines are free to download and distribute:
- Make computer-generated poems, fiction and bots with Tracery
- Little book of poem games
- Make interactive fiction with Twine
- Making narrative games with Bitsy
Events
I'm currently available to read my work and facilitate workshops on a number of topics including: computer-facilitated writing, zine-making, creative constraints, and online communities. Email me if you've got a hookup!
