Publishers are the middleman

Powerful publishing companies control the industry by limiting authors' ability to contribute to the market, earn a fair wage, and retain the rights to their work.
By maintaining control of the industry, publishers ensure their position as an intermediary in most book publications and sales, and earn high commissions with minimal threat to their position in the publishing process.

In general, publishers are nothing more than middlemen infringing on authors' rights and taking advantage of the power they hold. The influence publishers have creates a barrier to communication and access among authors, publishing service providers, and readers.

Publishers hold all the monetary and legal power
Publishers prohibit open communication between authors and industry-based service providers
Self-publishing requires too much start up capital for most authors
Authors are leaving the market to earn a living wage in other industries

Gilgamesh Platform is the Solution

The Gilgamesh platform provides a unique, simple user experience that encourages readers to engage and connect with one another, consume more informative content, and gain knowledge.
The platform is an open market for users to socialize; find, buy, review, and discuss books; and directly influence the publishing industry. Authors will be able to publish their work through service providers and receive the full financial benefit of their sales on the platform, which will bring new authors into the market and influence the way people consume books.

Readers, critics, and authors can connect socially
The platform revitalizes the book industry and creates a friendly and fun environment for the book community
Gilgamesh removes the publisher as middleman; authors can purchase services from self-publishing service providers on the platform
Authors and service providers earn a fair, living wage for their sales and services
Users create their own opportunities for success and become happier, more intelligent people

Gilgamesh Service Providers Marketplace

The Gilgamesh self-publishing platform is a marketplace for industry-related service providers to advertise, gain new opportunities, and contribute to the success of an author or publication.
Authors can browse the service providers by type, fee, or rating to identify recommended editors, printers, and distributors on the platform. They can directly hire service providers on the Gilgamesh platform and pay for services using GIL tokens.

Essentially, the self-publishing platform and marketplace removes the middleman (publishers) from the publishing process, creating an efficient and lucrative resource for authors who want to maintain control of their work. Service providers are charged a small fee based on the income they earn on the platform.

Authors can also use the self-publishing and social platform to create a secure eBook on IPFS & Ethereum smart contracts, register a copyright, or place an in-app advertisement.

Service providers are copywriters, copy editors, cover designers, illustrators, layout designers, printers, distributors, and marketers
The Gilgamesh platform is a secure resource for self-publishing an eBook, registering a copyright, or advertising a book to users
Authors will have full control of their work and will no longer have business partners
Authors will enjoy more freedom and a higher income, resulting in more books getting published

Gilgamesh Platform Architecture

Gilgamesh is a knowledge-sharing social platform that leverages blockchain technology, IPFS, and Ethereum smart contracts to create a fair knowledge-based market. The platform is divided into two distinctive segments:
Economic & Engagement Flow and Governance Flow

Economics & Engagement Flow

Readers, critics, authors, and service providers earn GIL tokens as a reward for their productive contributions and influence on the platform, such as writing useful reviews and book summaries.
They can use GIL tokens to pay for a service from a service provider; place an advertisement on the platform; or purchase a book, eBook, or audiobook on the platform.

Service providers earn GIL tokens for the services they provide to authors, and spend them on platform fees or to place an advertisement on the platform.

Ethereum & IPFS

Gilgamesh leverages blockchain technology to create a secure, democratic, censorship-free platform. Ethereum smart contracts will be used to create ERC20 utility token that incentivize users in proportion to their contributions and ensure fair governance by the community.
Accordingly, the Ethereum blockchain is a great fit for decentralized, censorship-free, secure, and open platforms.

The Gilgamesh platform encrypts all sensitive information and book files, storing a distributed file system on IPFS to ensure security and prevent censorship.

Governance Flow

GIL token buyers, service providers, users, and the Gilgamesh team are all token holders on the Gilgamesh platform. Token holders are responsible for making suggestions and voting on the governance of the platform. Correspondingly, voting power is maintained on the Ethereum blockchain through the use of smart contracts to ensure a fair market economy.

Monetization

The Gilgamesh platform earns GIL tokens from advertisements paid by authors and service providers, and platform fees charged by service providers. The platform also earns GIL tokens from commissions on book sales, specifically from authors who self-publish and sell their books on the platform.
