Join ACES for Giving Tuesday on November 28, 2023.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving back. Support the future of editing through your donation to the ACES Education Fund

  

The ACES Education Fund awards six scholarships annually, plus the Richard S. Holden Diversity Fellowship, given in partnership with the Dow Jones News Fund. 

  

Help ACES: The Society for Editing fulfill its mission to improving the quality of the written word and the working lives of editors. Step away from Black Friday and Cyber Monday and help a cause you believe in.

Go on a stetwalk

#Stetwalk 101

#Stetwalk is a term created to encourage editors to take a break from sitting behind a desk and talk a walk. Social media users can share their time spent outside using the hashtag #stetwalk. Many editors like to take their #stetpets on their #stetwalks. 

Share your #stetwalk — and #stetpet — with ACES by tagging us in your social post. Increase awareness using the hashtags #stetwalk, #GivingTuesday, and #ACESGivesBack. Consider making a donation and including that in your message.
