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 in 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.
His writing used to focus mostly on verse. Now he mainly writes prose. But poetry still holds a special place in his heart. Excerpts from his memoir have appeared in The Rappahannock Review and Lunch Ticket.
He is currently in the beginning stages of putting together a collection of essay.
