About Us

At Hourlong Press, we strive to bring fun, engaging, short books to you. There’s a lot to learn out there, so why get bogged down with overlong books dense with detail that don’t really say anything?

Hourlong Press distills each book into a concise, fact-filled, quick-to-read overview of the topic. It’ll give you enough information to understand the topic, hold an intelligent conversation about it, and, most importantly, be short enough that you won’t forget it all before you finish the book. Our books are designed to be read in about an hour, stay enjoyable, and introduce you to new topics on a regular basis.

Our books are exclusive to Amazon, and there are three ways to get them:

  1. Kindle Unlimited. This is the recommended way. With KU, you pay a monthly subscription to Amazon, and then you can read millions of books, including all of ours, for free. Check out Kindle Unlimited
  2. Buy it for Kindle. If you are not a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, most of our books are $2.99 for a normal Kindle ebook.
  3. Paperback. If you aren’t into ebooks, everything can also be found in paperback format. Keep in mind that due to the nature of our books, a paperback may be thinner than you might expect– most come in at around 50 pages, but check Amazon’s listing for an exact count.

Enter your email address in this page’s “subscribe” box to be notified about our new releases. If you want out, there’s a link at the bottom of every email to unsubscribe later. We don’t sell or do anything with your emails other than mail you once a week, at most, when new titles come out.
