**This project** is about the creation of a small publishing house for both digital (especially) and printed books, written by women, mainly in italian and english but not excluding other languages, this because being based in the italian part of Switzerland.
This project is developed in agreement with the values of a big Italian project called L’UNA, made by women for women supporting each other in the process of creating ethical and ecological social businesses. Some of these values are: awareness of the creative strength of women, cooperation, circularity, belonging and gratitude. 
We are opening an association to run the publishing house, it will be a female team, working in harmony and comfort (hygge), a sisterhood.
Within a circular interchange we create a service for L’UNA and we benefit of her concrete support (formation, accounting, logistic, distribution, marketing…).

**Digital books:** we would like to expand the digital publishing into NFT through the platform Mintbase on NEAR that allow us to taylor it to different use cases, moreover we think this is the future and DAO organizations perfectly reflect our defined/constantly redefining identity and allow to build over validated relationship - entering the NFT spaces is a way to rebuild our world making creative and free decisions, and after this step we can be an example, and of help, for future publishing houses onboarding.

**Narrandom Project:** we want to keep the narration unended and potentially evolving in every direction. When an author joins the project, she gives her text as inspiration for other artists producing metatext contributions. The author can give the entire text or only some parts, possibly with an English translation. These collabs will give new tokenable pieces as picture, video, songs…

**Project benefits:** 

We hope that our adventure and investigation will be of future help on the NEAR community, and we will be happy to consider any collaboration since the beginning, in fact we can use the NEAR received in step 1 to pay specific technical support that will be needed in step 2 and so on.
(example of support needed that we want to pay: rewiewing documents, help with translation, research of specific solutions, special software skills, DAO experience)

This project is an experiment on **NFTs use case**, since is a collaborative project, we will need to go through **governance experiments** and became an amazing tool for **onboarding** writers and other small puhing houses into NFT
