Caroline Albertine Minor was nominated for the prestigious Nordic Council Literature Prize for her story collection Blessings, and won the P. O. Enquist Prize 2018 as well as the Danish Fiction Writers' Association Prize, the Michael Strunge Prize 2017 and the Special Award of the Danish Arts Foundation. Her work has featured in Granta magazine and has been nominated for a 2020 O. Henry Award.
