Spring 2023 Writing Workshops
Research shows us that creative writing is one of the most powerful tools we have to support a young person’s academic, social, and emotional well-being. For example, there’s evidence that writing helps students excel in every subject, not just ELA. It also helps process emotions and can reduce symptoms of depression. And let’s not forget that more than 70% of employers look for staff with strong writing skills.
What’s a lesser known fact is 9 out of 10 medical amateurs say creative writing is the perfect antidote to the raging childhood epidemic known as “I’m bored.” If this is a problem you or a loved one has encountered, registering for one (or more!) of our Spring Workshops is the perfect solution!
As always, our tuition is Pay-What-You-Can (seriously!), and all our young writers will be published in and receive a free copy of our Spring 2023 Anthology. Don’t wait – register now before our workshops are sold out!
If you’re not ready to register but would like to stay in touch, join our mailing list! Be in the know about new workshops and Uptown Stories news, plus once a month you’ll get the best student writing in NYC, delivered right to your inbox.
Please note, students must have received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine prior to the start date. We are following state and federal guidelines for COVID-19. All of our teachers are vaccinated; masks are optional. If you have questions, please email us at info@uptownstories.org.
