Our Story
Built by many.
Made for you.
ToReadMore isn't the work of one author with one big idea. It's the work of a tight, stubborn team of eleven — writers, editors, coaches, designers and operators — who all got tired of the same thing.
$30 books we never finished. $500 courses we never started.
We'd each spent years buried in self-help — books that sat on the shelf, courses that sat in browser tabs, and the same handful of ideas repackaged over and over again.
The truth was uncomfortable: the ideas that actually changed our lives could fit into 60 pages. So why were people being asked to pay hundreds, and read for weeks, for something that could be delivered in an afternoon?
One late-night conversation became a project. The project pulled in friends. The friends became co-founders. The co-founders became ToReadMore — a small publisher building short, practical, affordable guides that are actually meant to be finished.
"Big change shouldn't carry a big price tag — or a 400-page commitment."— The ToReadMore Founders

What we believe
Practical First
No theory for its own sake. Every page has to earn its place — or it doesn't make the cut.
Affordable Always
Big change shouldn't carry a big price tag. Our guides start at a few dollars and stay there.
Made to Be Finished
Short on purpose. Designed to be read in one sitting and used the very next day.
Yours Forever
Every purchase is saved in your account to re-download anytime — for life, on any device.
How we make a guide
Listen
We start with the real questions people are stuck on — pulled from coaching calls, comments and reader emails.
Distill
Our writers and editors strip the answer down to what actually works. No padding. No fluff. No filler.
Deliver
We design it, format it and ship it as an instant PDF. You can start using it the day you buy it.
