Nosotros empoderar jóvenes para que escriban las suyas historias.
Una comunidad emocionante, desafiante y solidaria donde los jóvenes autores prosperan
Con sede en Washington Heights, Uptown Stories ofrece talleres de escritura creativa después de clases, de fin de semana y de verano para niños de 8 a 18 años, dirigidos por maestros estrellas del rock, que también son autores y artistas profesionales.
Los estudiantes aprenden el arte y el oficio de escribir, cómo revisar su trabajo y cómo dar y recibir comentarios constructivos. Cada taller termina con una lectura de celebración en la librería WordUp de Washington Heights y la publicación de una antología de tapa blanda, para que todos los estudiantes abandonen nuestro programa como autores publicados.
Para garantizar que nuestro programa sea accesible para nuestra comunidad étnica y económicamente diversa, nuestra matrícula es «pague lo que pueda». Uptown Stories crea una comunidad emocionante, desafiante y solidaria donde los autores jóvenes prosperan.

It's time for you to be the master of your universe! Let's explore worlds of your own creation, inhabited by beings that only you can imagine. We'll work together—whether you prefer fantasy, science fiction, magical realism or dystopia—to bring your ideas to life. We'll map out stories rich in symbolism, unleash our hidden storytelling skills, and be each other's sounding boards along the way. If you've ever dreamed of another world, this is the workshop where you can make it happen!
Get ready to run faster and jump higher, one frame at a time! Together we’re taking your stories and transforming them into comics. You’ll take an ordinary day (or the wildest story you can imagine) and use comic-book language, illustration, and frames to share with everyone the next super-adventure. You don’t need to be an artist to join us – just bring your best ideas. You’ll learn all the steps to comics illustration and development, including pin-ups, single-frame and multi-frame pages, using pencils, pens, paints, crayons, or other art materials.
Tired of being inside? Do you want to be wild and break out of the limitations that are always being set? Poetry is the answer. We’re strapping on our shoes, grabbing our pens, and meeting at the P.S. 187 school yard to go on a poet’s adventure! Poetry is a way of seeing things outside the boxes they are always being put in. We'll be rejuvenated by the nature of Ft. Tryon park and emboldened by our resilient neighborhood. We'll explore the wilds of language out in the world, allowing a stream of poetry to flow from the river of possibility.
