We are delighted to share that Linda Jones has been awarded the Rubus Arcticus Grant for literature. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Rubus Arcticus is one of Sweden’s largest cultural scholarships, created to honour professional artists with a strong connection to Norrbotten, Sweden.

Jones is recognised for her important contribution to Swedish children’s and YA literature, where her storytelling is deeply rooted in the region.

“It feels wonderful and truly an honour. It’s one of Sweden’s finest grants, and it comes from Norrbotten to the people of Norrbotten.”
– Linda Jones
