The Olivia and Hill Press is a small publishing house based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, focused on producing supplementary English-language texts designed for learners studying other languages. Its catalog centers on explaining English grammar in relation to specific target languages, with short, structured chapters that compare definitions and concepts in both English and the learner’s language, accompanied by numerous bilingual examples. The target audience comprises students and self-directed learners seeking to understand how English constructs—such as verbs or gender—operate in contrast with their non‑English language, addressing common linguistic gaps in second-language study. Operating within the book and periodical publishing industry, the company positions itself as a niche provider of grammar-focused language learning resources, evidenced by its series of title offerings for languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, and Latin. The business is small in scale, based in the Ann Arbor area, and emphasizes concise, concept-by-concept explanations intended to support learners in mapping similarities and differences between English and their target language.
