About Me

Experience Summary

I've been writing for nearly a decade. My mentor is Mark Cotta Vaz, who has written over thirty New York Times Bestsellers (mostly coffee table books, but it still counts). My website is www.tylerhousley.com. I write music, poetry, prose, and I'm familiar with screenplays; whatever gets my goat and keeps the boat afloat. My current interest is Portuguese poetry: Andrade, Pessoa, and Jorge de Sena. And other than the aforementioned authors, eu amo Borges, Chekhov, D.F. Wallace, and W.H. Gass (real heavy hitting sh**). If you're super sensitive and seeking affirmation, I would suggest the "Seeking Companionship" section on Craigslist.

Teaching Style

Depends on the student. I'm willing to dive into etymology and linguistics, if you roll that way,-- otherwise, we can just talk about commas and simple constructions.

My Hobbies

Gardening, getting toasted on a Friday night, ping pong, soccer, and video games.

Other Comments

Hit me up if you want to ruffle some feathers and spit hot fire. I'm sure there are better options above and below my profile, if you're interested in scribbling.

Subject Commentary

English Proficiency: Expert
If you mark "I know the basics" for this category, are you even allowed to make a profile.
Language Arts Proficiency: Experienced
I don't think I understand the distinction among the various categories.
Literature Proficiency: Expert
You can call me Snooty McSnooterson. If you haven't read "The Tunnel," you don't know jack about challenging literature; you might know Jane, though.
Poetry This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
If you think you can't rhyme with "orange," you haven't listened to Eminem.
Portuguese Proficiency: Experienced
Eu falo um pouco, e escribo mais.
Reading Proficiency: Expert
Is there anyone who doesn't read, and yet, is an exceptional writer? I'd love to meet them.
Shakespeare Proficiency: Experienced
"To be or not to be ..." Pfft, who cares? Harold Bloom I guess, but he's dead now. Did Lear lose all his marbles, or was he just tired of listening to his daughters' incessant whining? No se.
Spelling Proficiency: Expert
I spell good.
Writing This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
Uh huh. Yes, I want to help people with writing.
