EIGHTY20 PUBLISHING — FACT SHEET

What it is
A small press in Sarasota, Florida, publishing business nonfiction by operators — leaders who have run companies and have the results to show for it.

Founded
2024, by Bill Canady, to publish his own operating shelf to one house standard. The imprint now takes a handful of outside authors a year on the same terms.

What we publish
Business nonfiction by practitioners: leadership, operations, strategy, sales, finance, the private-equity operating world. A business fable when it carries a method.

The house standard
6 x 9 trim. Black interior set in Palatino. An index in every book; the list of figures at the back. Front matter in agreement across the shelf. ISBNs from the imprint's own block. A letter-size Field Guide companion for every title. Last line of every book: "Thinking is required."

The model
Author-owned publishing. Authors keep rights and royalties and fund production and launch; the imprint brings the standard, the bench and the launch engine. Selective — a handful of titles a year.

Distribution
Paperback, hardcover, ebook and audio. Print-on-demand worldwide through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
