Barbara Boyd on being a book coach in Italy
May 17, 2021
She began as a reader on the bookmobile in her small New Jersey town. Her next chapter was as a writer, but these days she lives on an olive farm in Italy, and she’s back to reading in her role as a coach, guiding authors through the process of writing their own books.
Writing a book is hard. It’s really hard. (Barbara, 13:30)
