As the title suggests, what's the meaning of the word letterization? To give an example of it in a sentence; A person immersed in letterizations is called a writer.

As far as I know letterization is not an English word.

I've never heard it in the UK either. I'd guess that it might mean the addition of letters (titles and qualifications) to someone's name, but that is just a guess.

Where did you encounter this (non-) word? What makes you think it exists?

Your first port of call should have been OneLook.com, a website that searches dozens of free online dictionaries and finds no mention anywhere of letterization.

It happens to occur in the book called Autobiography of a Corpse. Probably it doesn't exist as you all say, however I wonder what it associates in your mind.
