Thrilled and delighted that two of JDM’s own are longlisted in the 2022 Australian Book Industry Awards! (ABIAs)

In the Biography Book of the Year category we have How We Love by Clementine Ford (Allen & Unwin)

And in Children’s Picture Book of the Year (ages 0-6) we have Bedtime Sorted, by Jimmy Rees, and illustrated by our own Briony Stewart (Affirm Press)

The ABIAs showcase the collaborative efforts of publishers, editors, illustrators, marketers, designers, and authors in bringing quality books to Australian and international markets.

A shortlist will be released on Monday 23 May, with the winners announced at the publishing industry’s Awards night on Thursday 9 June – a red carpet Ceremony held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.

Congratulations to our creators, and well done to all the longlisted!
