Gifted editor provides conclusion for story books (8)

I believe the answer is:

talented

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gifted editor' is the definition.
'talented' can be an answer for 'gifted' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'editor' bit.

'conclusion for story books' is the wordplay.
'conclusion' becomes 'ed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'story' becomes 'tale' ('tale' can be a synonym of 'story').
'books' becomes 'nt' (New Testament).
'tale'+'nt'='talent'
'ed' after 'talent' is 'TALENTED'.

'provides' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for talented that I've seen before include "Having special aptitude" , "Well-endowed with gifts" , "Having a natural aptitude or skill" , "Possessing aptitude" , "Endowed with gifts" .)
