The final Genesee Reading Series of the Writers and Books 30th Anniversary Year features our very own Joe Flaherty and his daughter, Caedra Scott-Flaherty. You do not want to miss this opportunity to hear Joe and Caedra read from their own work. Come share with us this very fitting end to the wonderful 2011 Genesee Reading Series season!

Joe Flaherty,the Executive/Artistic Director of Writers & Books, received his B.A. in English from Penn State University and his MFA from the University of Buffalo. He founded Writers & Books in 1981 out of the belief that writing, and the appreciation of literature, needed to be promoted as life-long activities to the widest possible audience. He has served as a speaker, arts panelist and consultant throughout the country and has been honored in Rochester with a number of major awards, including The Arts Person of the Year from the Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

Caedra Scott-Flaherty is the recipient of the 2008 R. Rofihe Trophy Award for short fiction. She read at the 2010 Brooklyn Book Festival, and her fiction appears in One Story, Open City, Avery: An Anthology of New Fiction and is forthcoming in Slice Magazine and The New England Review. She is a graduate of the MFA program at New York University, and received a B.A. from Brown University. Recently, she was awarded a residency at the Millay Colony for the Arts.
