About Our Editors

NY Book Editors is a premiere affiliation of professional editors and copy editors with years of experience in New York City's major publishing houses. Our editors have worked for Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, and prestigious independent publishers.

"Premiere" means " to have a first public performance. : to appear for the first time as a star performer. transitive verb. : to give a first public performance of." As in: the sequel to Top Gun had a great premiere.

I think they meant "premier" which means "first in importance, order, or position; leading."

How embarrassing.
