The Meet an Author show presents a global writing project this week - the One World Anthology - which features writers including prestigious prizewinners and new talented authors who are starting to scoop major awards. What makes this venture so fascinating is the way writers all over the world have used the Internet to collaborate on it.

Ovo Adagha and Sequoia Nagamatsu will represent the project and speak about the development of the book, thoughts on literature on the internet, globalization/equality and concepts of space and identity in virtual worlds as well as reading selections from their own work.

Sequoia Nagamatsu's description of the project:
'The collection comprises stories from 23 writers from 14 countries including Pulitzer prize winner, Jhumpa Lahiri and recent MacArthur Grant recipient and Orange Prize Winner, Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie and many up and coming names.. All of the writers worked in an online office
to put the manuscript together, work on design, marketing and other tasks.'

The book was launched this month at the Oxford Literary Festival
at Christ Church College, Oxford and the authors are working on other events in locales around the world including outreach and presentation to high schools in America and now Second Life as well.
