Simone Dalton (she/her) is an award-winning writer born in Trinidad and Tobago and now based in Toronto. Her current work explores memory, grief, inheritance, and the quiet rituals that shape a life. She holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Guelph, and her debut memoir, What Remains, is forthcoming from Scribner Canada.
She is the founder of Island Scribe, where she designs immersive writing retreats and coaching spaces that invite writers into deeper, sustained creative practice. Her facilitation work grows directly from her own commitment to writing as ritual, reflection, and renewal.
