2016 Recap and the New Year


As we cruise to the end of the year, there is much to look forward to in 2017. 2016 showed a ton of progress for Under One Hour, and 2017 looks to continue that progress in a big way!


2016 Accomplishments


New Cover Design - Under One Hour had a new cover designed for every book. Thank you to all of the feedback on the cover to help design it to what it is today, and a BIG thanks to Steven Grajek for doing some phenomenal cover work! We feel the cover stands out and better aligns with the marketplace. 

Additionally Personal Finance Under One Hour was slightly revised to include the introduction of robo-advisors in Section 6.





New Authors and Books - Several new and experienced authors were hired to write books on their topics of expertise. Below are the newest authors with their published books:
  • Pokemon Go by Steven Grajek


  • The Films of Sam Mendes by Michael Jolls


  • Children's Literacy by Magdalena Teske





Book Launch and Signing - Under One Hour hosted this event at the Evanston Public Library in November and provided snacks and coffee for all who attended! It was great to meet some of the fans and sign books.
