Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hugo Awards are given annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention for the best science fiction or fantasy works. The awards are named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and given in various categories.

The winners for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor are presented here. Awards given in one year are for work done during the previous year. Winners are listed first, with other nominees listed below.

The Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor was presented from 1973 to 2006; at the 2006 business meeting of the World Science Fiction Society it was split into the Hugo Award for Best Editor Short Form and the Hugo Award for Best Editor Long Form, to be presented from 2007 onward.
