With the announcement of a new international literary fellowship, the Scottish Arts Council has honoured a great living Scottish writer with an initiative that will further strengthen the reputation of Scottish literature.
The Muriel Spark International Fellowship will bring international writers to live and work in Scotland for a period of up to two months.
Judi Jagger is a freelance writer who lives on 15 acres of rural isolation overlooking an island. She loves how the Internet can bring the world to her. When she does venture out, it is to the theatre and cinema and to visit galleries and bookshops. In a previous life she has been a teacher, a librarian, a cleaner (very, very briefly) and a hospital admissions clerk. The nicest thing anyone has told her was that she was “educated, not domesticated”. It was meant disparagingly. She will get round to putting it on a T-shirt one day.
