Under One Hour Turns 5 Years Old!!!



Under One Hour, LLC just hit the 5 year mark! 

The majority of time UOH has been in business was spent developing the concept and writing the first book. Expansion really only began in 2016. As 2017 continues to move along, we are excited about the projects currently underway as well as new topics to come. We also welcome many new authors in the near future.

We started with an idea to share personal finance with the world. As we researched and wrote the first book, we continued to form and reshape the format to the 6 sections and word count per section it is today. After publishing it, we continued to think of how to structure and market the business most effectively.

In 2016 we redesigned the cover and expanded to a type of franchise model which greatly benefits the author. This was set up as the industry typically has the publisher keeping most of the royalties while the authors do the hard part but keep less. We then went out and found some great authors which have written or are currently writing books.

As a result, we were able to host a book launch and signing event at the Evanston Public Library in November. It was great to meet some of the fans and sign books.

Some fans with the authors
