Why I Chose the Name OceanStorm Publishing
When I set out to launch my own publishing company, I knew the name had to mean something. Not just to me, but to the stories I tell, the values I hold, and the readers I hope to reach. It had to be personal. Powerful. True. And so, OceanStorm Publishing was born—a name inspired by the middle names of my two daughters, and by everything they represent.
