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!

Pitching Your Book - with Caitlyn Paxson
You might think about pitching your book as a very specific, one-time step in the publishing process. But the fact is that having a strong pitch can help you during almost every phase of the journey, from writing and editing to querying and selling, to marketing and promoting! In this workshop, author and book critic Caitlyn Paxson will guide you through the process of how to create a great pitch through hands-on practice and shed light on how that pitch can help you find success with your writing.
Caitlyn Paxson has a degree in creative writing and cultural history and has worked as the artistic director of storytelling performances, a harpist, a book reviewer, a 19th century jack of all trades, a shepherdess, and a fake Victorian spirit medium. Her debut novel, A Widow's Charm is forthcoming from Doubleday Canada in 2026.
