About Us Established in late 2002 by Frank Gromling, Ocean Publishing is a traditional press. That means we do things the old-fashioned way by making a financial investment in an author and a manuscript. We produce and promote each selected book at our own expense, with its author expected to assist by engaging in presentations, signings, interviews, and such. To date, we have published 15 titles in fiction, nonfiction, children's book, and poetry, and will produce four more titles each year. Manuscripts are evaluated on the quality of their content by an independent editorial review committee composed of talented editors and published authors. Despite our aggressive beginnings, we are still a small publisher and, as such, only a small number of submitted manuscripts are accepted for publishing. It may take up to a year to have a book idea move all the way to publication. Frank Gromling is a former business executive who came out of early retirement when he realized that he enjoyed the challenges of book publishing. He saw the need for a small press that would focus on talented authors who may not yet have made it to the big time of national publication. As a result, some of Ocean’s authors are rising stars who are making great strides toward personal and professional success through their written words, while others have already established their professional writing credentials. Frank is active in local and national publishing efforts. He is the president of the Florida Publishers Association, the only statewide organization in Florida designed primarily to educate and enhance the professionalism of publishers, authors, editors and others engaged in book publishing. He also is a member of the Board of Directors of PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association, which has more than 4,200 independent publisher members. On that board, he serves as the chair of the Education Committee, which brings educational programming to members via the internet and other technologies. |
