How Author Clock Began
Hello, fellow bookworms! We’re the Author Clock team and we’re thrilled to meet you! Two years ago, we set out to create a unique clock that would inspire people to encounter new authors, engage with new genres, and discover books. Along the way, we deepened our passion for reading by reconnecting with books we love and adding new favorites to our library. Before we started, Author Clock was a page-turning idea in our heads for over six years. Now, we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

What Makes Us Tick

Stories are Bridges
Stories connect us across generations, cultures, and vast distances by tapping into our shared human experiences. They provide a bridge for us to understand each other and a pathway to a sense of belonging as individuals and communities.

Reading is Nourishment
Reading sustains and transforms us through the power of creativity, knowledge, and empathy. The more we read the more we understand about ourselves and the world around us.

Sustainability is Responsibility
Sustainability plays a critical role in protecting our planet as it faces increasingly urgent challenges. That’s why we’re committed to producing Author Clock using only sustainable materials, design, and distribution.
