Our mandate at Formac Publishing is to publish books about Canada’s Maritime provinces or by Maritime Canadian authors. We’re publishing for readers in the Maritimes, and beyond.The Maritimes have a diverse and rich history, as most Canadians know. We’ve found many authors and many subjects which lend themselves to books for general readers. On this site you’ll find all the subjects you’d expect – Oak Island, Titanic, the Halifax Explosion – treated in interesting new ways. But you’ll also discover books on many other subjects that are equally fascinating. Check out Jerry Lockett’s recent and award-winning biography of the great British sailor/explorer Captain James Cook.Our children’s list has a national, not so much a regional, aim. Our speciality has been books for children who are starting off with independent reading. We’ve published more than 100 titles of this kind, embracing writers from across Canada and including a large contingent of Quebec authors whose books we’ve translated. We’ve worked in some other areas too, including nature activity books and fun non-fiction historical titles.
