ACES: The Society for Editing
ACES: The Society for Editing is a professional association of international scope for editors who work on every kind of content, including newspapers, magazines, websites, books, scholarly journals, and corporate communications.
As of 2025[update], the group offered:
ACES was formerly known as – and, as of 2018[update], is still legally incorporated as – the American Copy Editors Society, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
ACES was founded in 1997, by Pam Robinson, who also served as its first president, and Hank Glamann. Its inception followed the work of the American Society of News Editors (at the time, the American Society of Newspaper Editors) and meetings by copy editors in North Carolina and South Carolina. It is currently led by society president Heather E. Saunders of Nova Arc Content Co. She follows Neil Holdway of the Daily Herald and Sara Ziegler of FiveThirtyEight. John McIntyre of The Baltimore Sun was its second president. Chris Wienandt of the Dallas Morning News was its third president. Teresa Schmedding of the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Ill., was its fourth president.
ACES is governed by an elected board of directors consisting of five officers, eight board members-at-large, the president of the ACES Education Fund (ex officio), and the past president (non-voting member). Any full member is eligible for elections. Annual membership is $100 for full members and $50 for students.
In 2008, the board approved changes that allowed copy editors working outside traditional journalism organizations full membership with voting rights. As of early 2023, the society had over 5,000 members.
ACES: The Society for Editing offers numerous scholarships, fellowships, and awards to various editors annually.
ACES honors two editors each year for their outstanding editing abilities. The awards are named after its founders: the Robinson Prize, which honors an outstanding editor, and the Glamann Award, which honors contributions to the craft.
