Hillary’s class opened up new worlds for me…Since taking her class I have finished writing seven chapters in my new manuscript. —workshop participant

Off-the-charts outstanding. Absolutely astonishing. Honest, respectful,
encouraging and sincere. She had us all rapt. —workshop participant

Very well structured – definitely not too “soft.” It is empowering to hear someone derail the myths that procrastination is laziness and that being an artist means being tortured.—workshop participant

It was so helpful for me to hear and absorb that “procrastination is
not a moral flaw.” I sat down today and proceeded to empty my email
inbox by responding to emails that have been gathering virtual dust
there for months if not years. The last one I responded to was from
three years ago. Whew! What a relief. —workshop participant

Your class so far is right on target….I was both astounded and humbled because you sucker punched me in the gut with your accuracy. —class participant
