If you really want to have fun with this idea have Michael or someone else who knows how to throw together a website really quickly create a simple site for this imaginary editor, including testimonials along the lines of:

"[NAME] was able to take my work and by suggesting minor changes make it a runaway success." - A New York Times Bestselling author

"I had thought I was an excellent editor myself until I had [NAME] take a pass at my latest work and my eyes were opened in a way they never had been before."
- An Ivy League professor of English

"I cried when I finished the writing process. I cried when I finished my own edit. Since I engaged [NAME] to edit my books I cry no more." - A Pulitzer Prize winner
