iWrite Lifetime Achievement

Wm. Patrick Cook (Willie P) was immersed in creativity from the very beginning. Even before his birth, his father, Patrick Cook, nurtured his imagination with stories and music. By age three, Wm. Patrick displayed impressive talents, from organizing chess pieces and playing piano to creating mini-movies and excelling in sports. Yet, it was creative writing that truly captured his heart.

The iWrite Literacy Organization played a pivotal role in his journey, with Wm. Patrick participating in their competitions annually from 3rd to 12th grade, earning two Star Author awards and an Editor’s Choice award.

As you explore WP’s Life Depiction Through a Collection of Fiction, you’ll witness not only his evolving literary style but also his growing moral perspective on life.

Wm. Patrick has been an active participant in the annual iWRITE competition. His work was even featured in The Guinness Book of World Records as part of The Giant Book: I Am Texas—an impressive book measuring 7 feet tall, 11 feet wide, and weighing 496 pounds.
