Tom Fairley Award

It is often said that editing is an invisible art. But that doesn't mean great editors should hide in the shadows.

So many editors deserve our recognition—editors who dedicate countless hours to refining written communication so the meaning is clear and effective. These are editors who work on all types of projects, from website content, advertisements and reports to magazines, books and software documentation. When it comes to editing, the variety of material is limitless.

Shining a spotlight on editing excellence

The Tom Fairley Award is presented annually to an exceptional editor who played an important role in the success of a project completed in English or French.

The cash award of $2,000 is made possible by Editors Canada and its generous donors.
