Tyler Ayres draws on his extensive resume in manufacturing, Chinese translation, and hospitality to inform his workplace fiction, exploring interpersonal conflict, pressure, and bonds. He joins Jared to discuss the craft behind these stories, as well as his experience with granular writing study (think: syllables, punctuation), Chatham’s focus on nature and travel writing, and the opportunity to teach writing in nontraditional spaces.
Tyler is a first-year MFA candidate in fiction and a teaching fellow at Chatham University. He also holds an interdisciplinary MA from the University of Nebraska which culminated in a 45,000-word short fiction manuscript. His nonfiction appears in The Fourth River and L’Esprit Literary Review and his fiction appears in The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, Uppagus, and Line of Advance. Tyler also writes and performs music, works as a freelance editor, and has experience translating Chinese professionally.
MFA Writers is hosted by Jared McCormack and produced by Jared McCormack and Hanamori Skoblow. New episodes are released every two weeks. You can find more MFA Writers at MFAwriters.com.
