The publisher, which publishes literature for people with reading difficulties, receives the award because, by increasing accessibility to culture and facts, it “contributes to an important way in for increased interest in reading and participation in society”.
“My view is that those with reading difficulties are often forgotten, despite the fact that there are so many of them and that the ability to absorb text is so important in our society. That’s why it’s so funny that Grafiska Företagen draws attention to the book publisher Hedvig’s work with easy-to-read literature,” says Hedvig’s publishing manager Catarina Berg in a press release.
