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!
NEW Workshop!
NEW Workshop!
Poetry Revision Worshop - with Bren Simmers
Saturday, April 25th, 2026
12:00 - 3:00pm
The Guild, 111 Queen St, Charlottetown
Join author and PEI Poet Laureate Bren Simmers to learn tricks for taking your poems to the next level. Starting with a rough or stalled draft, we'll identify what’s working and what’s not, play with order, and talk about beginnings and endings. Then it’s time to apply the fine grit to line breaks, word choice, and titles. We’ll also discuss when to send poems out for publication and look through examples of literary journals to identify potential fit. Participants are encouraged to bring 3-4 poems they want to revise to the workshop. We will also generate new work that you can revise on the spot.
Upcoming Events
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.
