Paddy Gormley's Exciting Writing initiative is based on his unique insights into the creative process and to his inspirational teaching, both face to face and via the internet. 

This site contains links to more than ten of his websites, each devoted to a specific teaching and/or writing project. Many of his websites feature click-to-play audio/video clips and animations. 

Projects are organised into two categories :

• Teaching Projects include books, courses and interactive media on creative writing, creative writing in prisons and a business writing course.
• Writing Projects include plays, radio talks, poetry, philosophy and after-dinner speaking.

Paddy Gormley has been much praised by creative and business writers alike for his innovative thinking and quality of teaching.

• He focuses on the needs of the individuals within his teaching group and adapts his approach accordingly rather than enforcing a strictly predefined teaching agenda.
• His detailed understanding of writing processes from fundamentals (such as how ideas are formed) to sophisticated techniques (such as applying Aristotelian logic in the research and development of analytical reports) enables him to offer expert coaching at every stage.
• He invariably creates a positive, inspirational, collaborative environment in which individuals learn to give and to welcome constructive criticism.
