    • Books

In honor of baseball season, WANA is featuring a double header tonight!

Cody McDevitt is an investigative reporter based in Pittsburgh. He's written several books, including his most recent, Banished from Johnstown: Racist Backlash in Pennsylvania, which details one of the worst racial injustices in western Pennsylvania history. More than 2,000 Black and Latino people were forced from their homes after a racially charged police shooting. He is currently working on his next book about the history of the abortion rights movement.

Dan Reidmiller is a short-story writer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A recent graduate of Chatham University's MFA program, Dan is currently at work on his debut manuscript, tentatively titled, RIVER RATS: AND OTHER SIMERAL'S FERRY TALES. The project is a short-story cycle that intertwines the lives of a range of characters in a small, lower-class Appalachian town called Simeral's Ferry. During the day, Dan works full-time as a Content Writer and Strategist for an international software company, and in his spare time, he volunteers as a member of WANA, where he serves on the advisory board.
