What's your tagline / mission?

Your gateway to the next great story.

How did you start working on this idea?

It's something I would love to use. I am an avid reader and aspiring author. My daughter is a budding artist. It would be wonderful if there were a central place you could go to geek out about your favorite books, worlds, and stories. A place where you could create fan-based content based on the books you love

What problem are you trying to solve and how big is it?

Making it easier for:
* Artists to find fans and work.
* Authors to reach their fans and agents.
* Agents to find their next author.
* Readers to keep up with their favorite worlds and authors.
* New Authors to find help writing.
* A community of people who love reading and books.

What is your solution and how does it work?

Build a website that is a unified online community for the entire publishing industry, excluding the actual book printers themselves.

What is your business model / how do you make money?

Authors or publishers pay a small stipend to maintain their websites and their world Wiki. Fans pay for access to newsletters and write access subscriptions to the wiki. Agents pay a subscription to have an AI agent send them tailored manuscripts from new authors. Fans, authors, and agents pay artists to create book covers, fan art, and similar for them.
