About Us
Midland Creative Projects Limited was founded in March 2007 by Jonathan Davidson, who had previously been a partner in Book Communications and before that Literature Officer for Birmingham City Council.
Jonathan has worked for over twenty years in arts management and literature development, including working as a literature officer for local authorities and organising book festivals. He is joint-founder and Associate Director of the Birmingham Book Festival and is now Chief Executive of Writing West Midlands, the region’s new literature development agency. He is also a writer, and his radio plays are regularly broadcast on BBC Radios 3 and 4. His stage adaptation of Mary Webb’s novel, Precious Bane, toured with Interplay Theatre during 2009. His second collection of poetry will be published by Smith Doorstop in 2010.
Midland Creative Projects Limited works with many freelance writers and artists. It has two members of staff: Sara Beadle, Director of the Birmingham Book Festival and Joanne Penn, Adminstrative Assistant.
