Greene & Heaton has become the first literary agency to open an office in "Second Life", the virtual online world in which players create homes, businesses and communities. Will Francis (Second Life name Will Fresse) will be available in Second Life on Friday afternoons between 1 and 2 to answer questions from residents about landing an agent and taking a book from typescript to publication, and will aim to find new Greene & Heaton clients amongst the communities of writers and artists who 'live' in Second Life (population 1 million and growing). Anyone interested can contact him in the game via the instant messenger system or drop by the office at Hyperborea 107,99,23
