Catapult is looking for writers

April 19, 2022

Posted by Margarita Sanabria

Catapult is looking for pitches!  Pitch us an essay that weaves personal narrative AND cultural analysis. Topics may vary, but we dig: travel, food/drink, style, video games, TV, theatre, sports (news pegs are OK, but the essay itself must be evergreen). I’m looking to schedule things for second half of May, so if you have a complete draft of 2000 words or less lying around that you’re not sure what to do with, let me skim and let’s see what we can do.
