blurbist
Book cover quoter
A blurbist is someone who writes blurbs—those brief promotional endorsements that appear on book covers and dust jackets.
The term usually carries a faintly dismissive tone, suggesting someone who churns out praise professionally or habitually: He's become Hollywood's go-to blurbist, lending his name to any thriller that crosses his desk.
