Executive Editor Jobs in California

An Executive Editor holds a high-ranking position in the publishing industry, often overseeing other editors and coordinating overall publishing operations. Their responsibilities typically include making critical decisions about which books or pieces to publish, working closely with authors, guiding the editorial staff, and maintaining the voice and quality of the published content.
