Henderson said: “I believe a celebration of Tey’s life and work in her hometown is well deserved, with her works being translated into numerous different languages and still available to buy in print almost a century on from first publication.”
The plaque will be installed in Castle Street in Inverness city centre at the site of Tey’s family shop and business.
The building, one of the oldest in Inverness, is being redeveloped by Highland Housing Association (HHA).
Inverness City Heritage Trust supported Morag Henderson’s campaign.
Project manager Alison Tanner said: “It has been great to work alongside Jennifer with the support of HHA to celebrate a fantastic writer at an iconic and historic building, that will soon help breathe new life into the city centre.”
