One of two or more people who jointly oversee and prepare material for publication.
From co- + editor (from Latin editor, one who puts out). The co- prefix was added in the 19th century as collaborative publishing models became more common.
Many famous literary works had coeditors who shaped them profoundly—for instance, Maxwell Perkins coedited works with Hemingway and Fitzgerald, yet often remains invisible in publishing history despite his crucial role.
