Tyler Arndt was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. He graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle in 2005 with a Bachelor’s in English Literature (minor: South Asian Studies). He lived in Suwon, South Korea for three and a half years and has been working on a memoir of his experiences living there working as an ESL teacher. In 2015 Tyler stayed at the Vermont Studio Center as a resident in nonfiction writing.
Although he wrote poetry for many years, Tyler now mainly writes prose. Poetry will always hold a special place in his heart. Excerpts from his memoir have appeared in The Rappahannock Review and Lunch Ticket.
He is in the beginning stages of putting together a collection of essays.
