Microsoft's 8080 Books imprint aims to revolutionize the publishing industry by drastically reducing the time from manuscript completion to market release, catering to the fast-paced world of technology.
The launch of 8080 Books highlights a gap in the publishing industry where the rapid advancements in technology haven't translated into quicker publishing processes, 'Technology has quickened the pace of almost every industry except publishing'.
'We seek to strike the right balance' indicates Microsoft’s intention to ensure that while they are speeding up publishing, they still consider the quality and impact of the ideas being shared.
With a focus on new and nontraditional writers, 8080 Books aspires to uplift voices beyond Microsoft, 'showcase minds and ideas from outside the company' while primarily targeting technology, business, and societal topics.
