Help spread the word about US! Share workshop info with friends and parent groups; connect us with people who you think we should know (or should know US); and give us feedback on upcoming ideas and projects.

Connect Uptown Stories with Your School

We are dedicated to serving as many young writers as we can - and you can help us by making a connection between Uptown Stories and your child’s school! Invite our staff to set up a table at a fair, give a presentation at a PTA meeting, or we might even be able to offer workshops after school.

Art Supplies to Our Writers!
