Last year the PEIWG was lucky enough to have PEI author Caitlyn Paxson host what was one of our most memorable workshops of the year titled “Pitching Your Book”, an event we STILL receive positive feedback on to this day! We’d be fools not to bring Caitlyn back so we’ve decided to start 2026 off right with a new offering from this amazingly talented artist!
There are a lot of ways to get your book out into the world, but if you want to publish your writing with a larger press, there's a procedure to follow. Join returning author Caitlyn Paxson as she walks you through her own path to publishing, giving insight on perfecting a manuscript for submission, finding and querying agents, and what happens next. You'll also get a chance to start an agent query letter and ask questions about all the ins and outs of the business.
About the author & facilitator, Caitlyn Paxson:
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 March, 2026.
