We are delighted to congratulate the amazing Jackie Ryan for receiving THREE nominations in the 2018 Queensland Literary Awards Shortlists, for her incredible work of research and passion, We’ll Show The World: Expo 88. This story of Brisbane’s almighty struggle for a little bit of cred was published by University of Queensland Press in May 2018, tying in with the 30th anniversary of Expo 88.
This thought provoking, and at times hilarious, work has been nominated for: University of Southern Qld History Book Award, Courier Mail’s People’s Choice Award, and Queensland Premier’s Award for a Work of State Significance. Congratulations Jackie, publishing editor Alexandra Payne, publisher UQP, and fingers tightly crossed for the awards!
