Jennifer Walker, senior content editor at Best Health magazine, was named Editor of the Year by The Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC) last week. The award was given out as part of MagNet.

"Jennifer is great at working with writers to craft compelling articles and package them in innovative ways," said Best Health editor Bonnie Munday in a release.

This the second year that PWAC has presented the Editor of the Year Award. The award brings national recognition and praise to outstanding editorial professionals. Written nominations 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 fairness of pay rates and contracts.
