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.
