Subscribe to From Both Sides
A bilingual newsletter from VOZ NYC for stories that cross borders, languages, and lives.
VOZ NYC isn’t just a publishing imprint — it’s a movement.
We’re here to amplify bilingual, personal stories that live between languages, borders, and generations.
Rooted in truth. Told with soul. Built from both sides.
We’re redefining what storytelling can look and sound like across cultures.
Our imprint uplifts personal, bilingual voices — from New York to Bogotá and beyond.
We believe in raw truth, poetic form, and publishing without permission.
Stories don’t need to be polished to be powerful — they just need to be heard.
Everyone has a voz. What’s yours?
We’re calling for stories rooted in truth, memory, and identity.

Subscribe to our bilingual newsletter — for truths, memories, and voices that move.
Because stories don’t disappear. They evolve.
With every story we publish, we honor the voices that shape who we are — across borders, generations, and languages.
At VOZ NYC, we publish personal, bilingual stories that carry memory, truth, and identity. We uplift first-generation experiences, intergenerational love, and moments of grief, joy, and becoming.
This imprint was born from the margins — to hold space for hybrid narratives, soft voices, and loud truths. We’re not here to define Latinidad. We’re here to reflect it, one story at a time.
Guiding new voices to the page — and the people who need to hear them
VOZ NYC is an independent imprint rooted in storytelling that reflects lived experience.
