Coaching
We know how hard it can be to write a book, no matter what the topic, genre or subject matter. It can be difficult to stay focused, keep on track, or find inspiration.
Green Olive Press provides tailored coaching services to individuals and organisations. Some writers prefer a weekly telephone conversation, others prefer monthly face-to-face contact, and some prefer email contact.
Whatever your preference Green Olive Press can design a package to keep you motivated and help you get those words down on paper.
