"I write, I get published, I work my way to editor."

Could you tell me whether "editor" is a noun or a verb according to this statement?

Unfortunately, the sentence is not grammatically correct. If, by "editor", you mean the person who does the editing, it would be "the editor" in which case, it would be a noun.
Betty: "I write, I get published, I work my way to editor and then I can run a magazine."

I don't really know what she means by it.

Giving us the whole sentence makes a huge difference, amateurr. If you had provided this in your first post, it would certainly have saved time.

What Betty means is that she works her way to the position of editor at the magazine. It's a job title. She becomes an editor. It's still a noun.
