blurbist

noun

1. A writer of blurbs.

   “Months later I met one of the blurbists (that's a word in Webster's Fourth) and found that the author in question, aside from being a fine fellow and vice president of an important movie company, had been dying of cancer at the time the blurbs were requested.”

   “We scan the pages of the book to see what the hidden connection between blurbist and blurbee might be.”
