About
About Talty Literary
Talty Literary is a literary-education program: classes, manuscript guidance, readings, and conversations about books.
The program
Classes, manuscripts, readings, and books.
The idea here is simple and not new: writers get better by reading closely, writing often, and receiving a response they can actually use. Most of what's offered is built around one of those three.
Founder
Morgan Talty
Morgan Talty is a writer and teacher. He is the author of Night of the Living Rez and Fire Exit. Night of the Living Rez received the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize, and the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction.
His teaching examines how the parts of fiction affect one another: a choice in voice changes a character; a change in setting can change the action. That attention to craft informs Talty Literary's program.
The company behind the program
Talty Literary is a literary-education program operated by Talty Literary Solutions, Inc., a Maine corporation. Contracts, invoices, and formal notices come from that company.
