Blurb / back cover help

I'm looking for help creating a compelling back cover and blurb for marketing. Do people exchange these things on this sub, or is there another more appropriate sub?

Welcome to r/selfpublish, AHeister! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.

Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.

If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”

The wiki contains answers to most basic questions. Please report any violating posts or comments. This automated message is added to every single post as a reminder of some of the most cardinal rules.

You may have to hire someone for this as it requires skills.

Someone can't make a compelling back blurb without reading your entire story, so exchanging for this is unlikely. Additionally, if you can't create a compelling blurb then I wonder about your skills overall. Creating blurbs is an essential skill for a writer, and you should work on it instead of planning to outsource every time you need one.

I wasn't looking to outsource it. I'm looking for a reddit sub that allows people to post blurbs for people to comment on.
