In 1996 Fontis Publishing began as a micro-publisher specializing in short run fiction (under the imprint Sunflower Productions) and documentary film making with the short documentary Pioneer Historian: The Ted Sallows Story.  By 1998 the direction had shifted and the primary publication was Adventures In English, an ESL publication geared towards University level English language learners. This was also the period in which the company began to publish online. From 1998 to 2002 three editions of Adventures in English were produced.  In 2003 Fontis Publishing's founder began producing customized English Language Training programs for summer camps and corporate training programs.  September 2005 saw the launch of TALL ESL Magazine (a periodical ESL Magazine targeted at high-school and university learners).  In 2006, Textbook Direct, the custom ESL textbook program moved online with the intent of providing custom designed ESL textbooks to Universities, Schools and private education institutes.  In 2007 Fontis Publishing saw enormous growth with an influx of exciting projects in Publishing, Marketing and Video Production.  Between 2008 and 2010 we expanded our offerings to include strategic business services, manufacturing brokerage and import/exporting.  But by 2011 and heading into 2012 we have returned to our core competencies: Print, Video and Web!  Welcome to the future of publishing.
