About Us
The 21st century world is one that has access to far more information than it can fully process. It is a world in which people are traveling more than ever, faster than ever, to more places than ever, and read more books than ever.
Many books take much longer to read than the time the average person in this information age can spare at a sitting. It has been observed that many a reader begins to read a wonderful book but only goes part of the way (usually for about one hour) before putting it aside for thousands of other things calling for his attention.
Perhaps a solution would be a book that contains the gem of what the reader needs and desires to feed upon during the time available, a book that the reader can complete within one hour – while on a commuter bus or train, a short flight, waiting in a lounge, or while relaxing before going to sleep at night. That just might be what many people would wish for in this day and age. “One-Hour Books” is simply a deliberate, corporate effort to cater to the specific need of the modern reader to “finish the book” in about an hour. Our time is very limited and is a precious commodity. We must make wise and prudent decisions on how we spend it.
We are aware, of course, that people read at different speeds, and the same person can read different books at different speeds, depending on the subject matter, the “readability” of the text and many other factors. We do not expect everyone will be able to read our books in exactly one hour. Still, we hope every publication offered through this web site will present most readers with enjoyable and quick reading. When we find it essential, we also accommodate books of much longer length than “one-hour books.” We are indeed a group of responsive publishing companies (One-Hour Books, Essence Publications, Migrant Publishing Company, Optimum Press Limited, etc.) in the USA and Africa.
We can also help you to take your vision from manuscript to published book. Experienced writers and aspiring authors are invited to use our vast experience in editing, proofreading, printing and publishing to bring their ideas to life in book form. Visit our “Publish a book” page for details. We also offer this web site to authors and publishers as an online bookstore. Visit our “Sell a book” page for more information.
