Uptown Stories Inc

At Uptown Stories, our mission is to empower young people to write their own stories. Based in Washington Heights, we offer after-school, weekend, and summer creative writing workshops for children ages 8-18, led by rock-star teachers, who are professional authors and artists. The students learn the art of writing, how to revise their work, and how to give and receive constructive feedback. Each workshop ends with a celebratory reading event and publication of a paperback anthology, so every student leaves as a published author. To ensure we are accessible to our ethnically and economically diverse community, our tuition is “Pay-What-You-Can.”
