Editor is a noun. If it's used in the predicate of a sentence with a linking verb, then it's a predicate nominative. Ex: John is a good editor. Notice that editor is the subject of the first sentence of this paragraph. Non-example: John hired an editor. Editor is in the predicate, but hired is not a linking verb, so it becomes the direct object.
