Italian word
editore
publisher (of books, newspapers, etc.)
Looks like
editor
a person who edits texts or manages a publication
⚠️ The trap
'Editore' means the company or person who publishes a book — in English that is 'publisher', NOT 'editor'. An English 'editor' who corrects and shapes a text is 'redattore' in Italian. This is a classic false friend in the publishing world.
To say "a person who edits texts or manages a publication" in Italian:
editore (publisher); redattore (editor who edits text)
"editore" in English means:
publisher (of books, newspapers, etc.)
Example
"Ho trovato un editore disposto a pubblicare il mio romanzo."
"I found a publisher willing to publish my novel."
