One Service

Our primary services are coaching and ghostwriting (and its variations) for aspiring and repeat authors. Clients easily stick with one service when that is what matches their needs.

Multiple Services

We greatly enjoy taking people from the beginning of their story through the publication of their books. Still, to reiterate, a client is under no obligation to use multiple services. We encourage what the client needs based on the client's goals.

Adding Services

Easy enough to begin with one service, like our self-publishing support, and then move to additional help, such as receiving coaching for the next book (or sometimes the same book). We want our clients to always feel free to ask us how we can accommodate ongoing or future projects.

Publisher

Our company never pretends to be a traditional publishing company, but we also are not in the vanity or hybrid world. When in select situations we enable people to publish under the Oceannapolis brand, and they accept, they do not have to pay out of pocket to use our imprint. We earn prearranged royalty percentages in tandem with book sales.

Self-Publishing

Oceannapolis delivers detailed publishing guidance as part of this service, not to mention editing, formatting, and book covers. Depending on the package, we also deliver marketing support. But when a client self-publishes, Oceannapolis isn't the publisher at all. The client is.
