Book editor

A Book Editor is role within book publishing, which typically involves being a substantive editor, production editor and copyeditor. This is particularly true of smaller publishers, who retain fewer staff and so need them to fulfil more roles. Book Editors need good literacy and computing skills. They are responsible for page layout and choosing fonts for text and headers, so should understand how these elements affect the readability and impact of the product. Book Editors in small publishers may also be involved in further elements of design.
