Coaching

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 templates 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 coaching and 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 specialty, including memoirs, business, leadership, self-help, spirituality, and culture.

Fiction

Yes to fiction as well, including mystery, sci-fi, and adventure.

Ideas

We help clients share their insights, reflections, and innovations.

Directly through the Oceannapolis website, specified links, specified platforms, or invoices sent by 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).

Oceannapolis receives no public credit for our ghostwriting work. In select circumstances, an author will want to give us credit for helping them, and we mutually modify the agreement. Still, we try to establish in the initial agreement the kind of credit Oceannapolis will receive, if any credit at all.
