Les Éditions Fond'tonne

Les Éditions Fond'tonne is a non-profit publishing house (maison d'édition) based in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. It describes itself as rooted in the fields, forests and river that surround it, and aims to bring a self-proclaimed, slightly irreverent publishing sensibility to contemporary libraries without sacrificing quality. Its inspiration comes from urban underground publishing scenes and community project crowdfunding. The press's mission is to give the book object its full potential as a vehicle for an artist's poetic universe, and to develop publishing outside major population centres. It promotes high-quality literature at both regional and national levels, and also acts as a cultural animator in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. Its catalogue is distributed by Dimedia, meaning most titles can be ordered or found in neighbourhood bookstores. Older titles (pre-2021), book-objects from the 20 oz collection, and zines from the Broches à foin collection can be ordered directly or by contacting the publisher. Fond'tonne publishes poetry, literary works and artist books, with authors including Nicholas Giguère, Simon Roberts and Martin Robitaille. It accepts manuscript submissions by email in Microsoft Word format with a readable 12-point font, following a submission protocol; reading times vary between four and six months depending on the season and collection. The literary direction is led by Anthony Lacroix, who also sits on the board of directors. Fond'tonne is a non-profit organization and a member of the Coop de solidarité Paradis.
