Amy M. Green received her Ph.D in Literature from UNLV in 2009. She specialized in Shakespeare and 19th Century American Literature. Today, her work has evolved and she focuses primarily on the study of digital narrative and video games. Since she believes that digital narrative represents an important part of the conversation about the study of storytelling, she frequently also looks to film and literature in her scholarly work and in the courses she teaches. She is especially interested in the expanding presence of video games as a compelling source of narrative, one that is necessarily participatory by nature. Most of all, she loves her time in the classroom, sharing readings and thoughts with students from all backgrounds.

I have authored two books about storytelling in video games:
Storytelling in Video Games: The Art of the Digital Narrative
​
