Some links for you:

• Birmingham designers and publisher celebrate Booker Prize listing – Birmingham Post – I missed this from last month. Two connections for me: I used to work for Jewellery Quarter based designers Homer Creative whose top designer Sue Race has designed a book cover for a Booker Prize nominee. Second connection: I once sat with Tindal Street Press boss Alan Mahar at a Blues vs Everton game. Okay that second one's a bit crap I know. Well done to both though.

• 2012 | CompeteFor Portal – In case you didn't realise it this portal is the place to register for 2012 tenders
• London Office moves, but still free to use | Digital Central – The project I used to run has the fortunate legacy of still having support available in the form of use of an office in central Soho
