The PEI Writers’ Guild & PEERS Alliance won the PEI Arts Award for Standout Project of the Year for the Queer Youth Anthology. Pictured are (left to right): Dave Stewart, Shawn Hogan, Hayden Little (youth contributor to the anthology), and Vanessa Bradley.

We are the PEI Writers' Guild—a group of authors, editors, publishing industry professionals, and community-minded writers.

We’re rooted in Epekwitk (PEI) but we have a dynamic, enveloping global wingspan. We are students, and we are teachers. We write short fiction, YA, memoir, poetry, travel. We write creative nonfiction, lyric poems, ballads, poetry, and recipes. We are spoken word artists, performance poets, and we write legends, bedtime stories, and more!

Our mission is to promote writing on Epekwitk, PEI, and to inspire, support, and encourage established, emerging, and potential writers to find their voice, improve their craft, and experience success in their writing.
