What is an editor?

In Chapter 160 of 3 Books, Nita Prose helps us understand what an editorial career entails.

Before becoming a full-time author, Nita held the lofty publishing position of Vice President and Editorial Director at Simon & Schuster Canada and oversaw titles by authors like Rupi Kaur, Kate Morton, Iain Reid, and... me!

Nita was the editor of my book on resilience 'You Are Awesome: How To Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life' which came out in 2019 and my book on gratitude and community 'Our Book Of Awesome,' which came out in 2022.

In Chapter 160, Nita offers her phenomenal perspectives on all things publishing, editing, and writing—a true masterclass.
