ACES: The Society for Editing is pleased to announce that nominations for the Robinson Prize, one of ACES' highest honors, are now open.
Nominations close at midnight Eastern time on January 31, 2024.
The Robinson Prize is awarded every year by ACES to an editor for demonstrating excellent editing work, community building, teaching, and mentoring. Editors who take initiative, engage in creative problem solving and conflict resolution, and foster teamwork and pride are considered to be prime candidates.
The prize is named for Pam Robinson, a founder and past president of ACES. One of her goals was to make editors more visible in the workplace and encourage them to take a constructive role in the publishing process.
Nominees are evaluated on a combination of elements, which can include editing, design, mentoring and training, fostering a sense of teamwork and pride among colleagues, and anything else that furthers the craft of professional editing.
We invite and encourage all to apply — all races, all genders, all ages, all professional levels.
