Greg is co-author of five books & workbooks. He also has written for magazines, newspapers & online publications. His poem, Legacy, is the basis of a poster. He has spoken at events -- including literacy conferences, adult literacy graduations, annual conferences for librarians, and events hosted by magazines (e.g. 40 under 40 Awards luncheons). At some events, he has been one of several presenters. In those cases, the others have included authors like Malcolm Gladwell, Henry Winkler, and Elie Wiesel. He also has done book readings (e.g. at a school assembly), book signings (e.g. Cape Town Book Fair), and on-stage interviews/Q&A's (e.g. Baltimore Book Festival), At times, he has served as Writer (or Scholar)-in-Residence &/or has led a Young Writers Workshop at a school or for a program.
Side note: When Greg takes part in an in-person event, it is usually planned well in advance. Cape Town Book Fair was a memorable exception. He was in South Africa to serve as Scholar-in-Residence for a program. While in SA, he met someone involved in the Book Fair. She told him about the Fair, noted that it was taking place that very week, and expressed interest in having him involved given the serendipitous timing. So, on very short notice, he did book signings at the Fair. A fun, spontaneous addition to the trip!
