Focus Publishing has been in business for over 20 years. We are an
independent publisher located in Newburyport Massachusetts, producing
high quality books and textbooks for the educational community, as well
as for the general reader. Cinema for French Conversation was the
catalyst for our ground-breaking series that uses cinema as the basis
for teaching foreign languages. Our translations in Classics and
Philosophy are revered as some of the best available, and are used
widely in the classroom, as well as on stage. Focus also functions as
the primary U.S. Distributor for the famous Latin immersion series by
Hans Orberg, Lingua Latina. Our Greek library includes an array of
Classical and Ancient Greek texts for all levels. Our growing library
of theater resources includes the annual publication of the Dramatists
Guild Resource Directory. Thirteen titles are now available in our New
Kittredge Shakespeare Series and we will complete the performance-based
run of titles over the few years. In addition to that, we also publish
texts that fill gaps in areas of Russian and Mycology.
We work hard to provide affordable and valuable texts for our
consumers. It is a privilege to have a gifted and growing group of
authors, editors and translators working side by side with a dedicated
staff, willing to play many roles and passionate about quality and
customer service. Focus is a unique publishing company and we hope you
will take some time to get to know us better.
