O'Shaughnessy Ventures Launches Infinite Books, Names Bestselling Author Jimmy Soni as CEO and Editor in Chief
Friday, March 28, 2025
NEW YORK, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- O'Shaughnessy Ventures LLC (OSV) today announced the launch of Infinite Books, a new publishing venture reimagining the relationship between publishers, authors and readers. Award-winning author Jimmy Soni has been appointed CEO and editor in chief.
Infinite Books will publish a wide range of fiction and nonfiction works that stand the test of time, combining the quality standards of traditional publishing with innovative approaches to contracts, editorial support and marketing.
"The publishing industry is at an inflection point," said Soni. "While books remain magical, almost everything about how we discover, create and share them has evolved. At Infinite Books, we're building the publishing house that authors deserve--combining editorial excellence with the speed and flexibility modern creators expect. By rethinking everything from contract structures to the editorial process, we believe we can create a new model that serves both authors and readers better."
Jim O'Shaughnessy, executive chairman of Infinite Books and founder of OSV, commented: "In Jimmy, we've found a leader who uniquely understands both the creative and business sides of publishing. His track record speaks for itself--he's written acclaimed, bestselling books of his own and helped shepherd numerous other authors to success." O'Shaughnessy is himself a veteran author, having written the investment classic "What Works on Wall Street," now in its fourth edition and widely regarded as one of the most influential books in the field of quantitative investing.
About Jimmy Soni
Soni brings substantial publishing credentials to the role. His most recent book, "The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley," was a national bestseller and was named one of the best books of the year by The New Yorker. Based on hundreds of interviews, including exclusive conversations with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman, the book earned widespread acclaim, with The New York Times calling it "an intensely magnetic chronicle" and Walter Isaacson praising it as "an indispensable guide to modern innovation and entrepreneurship."
His previous work, "A Mind at Play: How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age," won the prestigious 2017 Neumann Prize from the British Society for the History of Mathematics and the Middleton Prize from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Soni's other works include "Rome's Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato" and "Jane's Carousel," co-authored with the late Jane Walentas.
As a ghostwriter, Soni has penned commencement speeches, inaugural addresses and several No. 1 New York Times bestsellers for some of the nation's leading voices in business, politics and media.
Initial Publishing Slate
Infinite Books has picked up early momentum, having already published its debut title "Two Thoughts: A Timeless Collection of Infinite Wisdom," and relaunched Melanie Conklin's beloved "Counting Thyme." Upcoming works include former professor and renowned podcaster Dr. Alex Petkas's exploration of the ancient concept of Zeal; "White Mirror," a collection of fiction stories from Tinkered Thinking; and a new edition of Michael Gibson's "Paper Belt on Fire."
"Our initial slate represents exactly what Infinite Books stands for," said Soni. "From fresh philosophical explorations to powerful fiction to books that deserve a second life--these works exemplify our range, ambition and commitment to enduring ideas and excellent writing."
Infinite Books continues to accept submissions and plans to announce additional titles throughout 2025.
