Who writes these???????????????

Question

I want to be an editor or be something that pretains to reading a book. I wanted to know who writes the little excerpt on the back of the novels?

Answer 1

Just to let you know, an editor does more than just read a book. They look through it, make changes, corrections, etc. An editor needs to be a good writer as well as a good reader. They have a limited time to read the book in, but, at the same time, they have to be a writer and see if the author needs to make any changes on anything. Good luck!

Answer 2

I would guess it's someone involved with the marketing end of things. The two writers I know did not get to do the blurb themselves.
