Catalan term or phrase: Prescriptor (and prescripcío - same context)

Promoter


Explanation:
It appears to be used in this context to mean the person or agent promoting the work (publishing house).

I'm sure you'd find lots of examples in Catalan of prescriptor being used to mean the agent promoting the event, object, etc.

Asker: Oh! I hadn't considered that at all. Thanks Berni and Andy for your input - I'm going to go back and check all the instances with that in mind. :o)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Andy Watkinson: True Berni, but not sure it's only the agents. It could also be the more general type of "prescriptor" who could be well-known figures who praise the books in question, to achieve the "acknowledgement" and "prestige". (BTW, glad you found the G.Syrup)

  -> I agree. I guess I didn't make it clear that Agent included anyone doing the promoting. BTW Do you have anything to do with my finding the G.Syrup ;) Or do you just frequent the same site :)
