Two finalists named for PWAC Editor of the Year award

Holly Bennett, editor-in-chief of Today’s Parent Special Editions and Michael Totzke, editor of Canadian Interiors have been named finalists in the Professional Writers Association of Canada Editor of the Year Award. It is to be presented at the Writers' Industry Awards Luncheon on Friday 4th during the MagNet magazine conference.

“This is a unique editing award because it comes from Canada’s writers,” said PWAC President Tanya Gulliver in a release. “Freelance writers from across the country submitted nominations for deserving editors, and Michael and Holly rose to the top.”

Nominations for the award are submitted by PWAC members and a panel of three member judges evaluate the nominees based on criteria that includes editing and communications skills, the ability to bring out the best in writers, and the fairness of pay rates and contracts. PWAC is the national organization representing over 600 freelance writers and journalists in Canada.
