Remembering how it all began

In 2007 Wordsworth Editions Photoshopped a portrait of Jane Austen to make her look more appealing to readers. While the origianl portrait may have been fine for olden times, today's public is accustomed to being entertained exclusively by hot people, and Austen was so totally not pretty. It occurred to our team of hotness technicians that a lot of writers could use our help, and so Literary Makeovers was born.

Why is the work we do so important? Take a look at this picture of Dave Eggers:





Sure, he's Ok. We here at Literary Makeovers would probably do him. But try looking at that picture and then reading this story by Eggers. You're probably thinking, "All right, that was a nice story, I guess." But now look at this picture of Eggers:







See? Now you don't even need to read some story or whatever to know you appreciate Dave Eggers. That's why our work here is so crucial.

This post has made coming to work worthwhile today. Why? Cause i got to read it at 10:00 in the morning as opposed to later, because if I hadn't of come into work, then I would be sleeping.
