Catapult is looking for writers

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.
