Excellence

-
Coaching, Consulting, and Education
We guide clients through the process of writing or dictating their own draft(s). They put their ideas or stories together with Oceannapolis coaching, educating, training, planning, and tailored documents and conversations.
-
Publisher
Our company never pretends to be a traditional publishing company, and we also are not in the vanity or hybrid world. We have a boutique publishing imprint we offer in exclusive situations to select writers and authors to release their stories under the Oceannapolis brand. In these circumstances, authors do not pay out of pocket. Oceannapolis prearranges royalty percentages from book sales for the authors.
Self-Publishing
Oceannapolis delivers detailed publishing guidance as part of this service, not to mention editing, formatting, and book covers. But when a client self-publishes, Oceannapolis isn't the publisher at all. The client is.
Writing Foremost
Most of all, Oceannapolis is a company providing writing services for both aspiring and repeat storytellers and innovators. We focus on getting clients' content ready in a manuscript for them to self-publish, share, or use. We do not offer major marketing functions.
-
Nonfiction
Nonfiction is our bread and butter, including memoirs, life journeys, leadership lessons, societal perspectives, artistic pursuits, and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Fiction
Yes to a limited amount of fiction, including mystery, sci-fi, and adventure.
Ideas
We help clients share their insights, reflections, and innovations.
-
Directly through specified links, specified platforms, or invoices from Oceannapolis. Payments are expected by the prearranged due date(s) with a full payment or with planned installments, depending on the services.
-
Oceannapolis performs a lot of the writing services, but we also contract work to individuals and businesses while we set up, plan, and/or lead the process. We communicate the different kinds of work transparently with every client. Oceannapolis doesn't carry out certain roles itself. For example, we do not create the design work for clients' book cover files or conduct audiobook narrations. We always use contractors or vendors for such work. Once again, Oceannapolis stays involved in the process for communication, planning, and frequently leading the overall project(s).
-
By default, Oceannapolis receives no public credit for ghostwriting work. In select circumstances, an author will want to give us credit for helping them, and we can often mutually modify an agreement if need be. Still, we establish in the initial agreement the kind of credit Oceannapolis will receive, if any credit at all.
