My books seek to empower both individuals and democratic societies. The two challenges are related because liberated people create liberated societies. Good luck to you on your quest for liberation, and don't forget to help others — and thanks for seeing me as a resource.

Nothing accelerates progress faster than coaching. Just a few hours can greatly increase your productivity and greatly relieve your stress throughout your life and work.
It is energizing and inspiring to be in a room with others who are also working to overcome their blocks and barriers, and become more productive.
The most wonderful people take my workshops, and the atmosphere is always warm, supportive, friendly – and focused. (And we get the job done! See the testimonials). So please join us! Register early for “live” workshops, as they tend to fill up, or take an online one if you can’t attend a “live” one. Email me if questions or comments. Thanks! Hillary
Activist and Arts Groups – Let’s run an online workshop together. I teach (content customized for your audience); you fill the virtual chairs; we split the proceeds; you gain some income; your community becomes more empowered. Email me – let’s make it happen!
6 Mondays from 6:00-9:00pm at Newtonville Books. Begins June 25th-July 30th.
Description:
Why do some writers seem to write effortlessly, turning out page after page, chapter after chapter, and book after book, while so many others struggle over every word? The difference often comes down to how one relates to one’s work. If you feel a lot of fear and ambivalence when you write, or set too-high expectations for productivity or quality, then writing will probably be hard. But if you can avoid those traps, it becomes easier and even a joy. Through workshops and exercises, Hillary Rettig (The 7 Secrets of the Prolific) will teach you how to do just that. We’ll begin by identifying the forces that create procrastination and blocks, including our own fears, damaging societal messages, and the pernicious habits of perfectionism and negativity. Then we’ll work on solutions, including “compassionate objectivity,” writing without hesitation, writing through “the wall,” and using timers and other tools.
6 Wednesdays from 6:30-9:30pm at Grub Street headquarters. Begins July 18th – Aug 22nd.
