Catapult publishes literary fiction and artful narrative nonfiction that engages with our Perception Box, the powerful metaphor we use to define the structure and boundaries of how we see others in their full humanity, and invites new ways of seeing and being seen.

Our books are alive, insightful, illuminating, and surprising, written by vital voices—emerging and established—that honor the craft of writing, and we are committed to publishing with care, intention, and respect for our authors.

About Catapult

Our books embrace writers and audiences who fearlessly shake up our assumptions and biases; and who believe in the power of storytelling. We celebrate stories that explore the space between the lines of our lives, that raise questions rather than give answers, and that rattle the walls of our Perception Box—expanding the boundaries of who we think we are, and what we think we know.

We work with a diverse list of writers who have been historically underrepresented, broadening the literary landscape in the United States and beyond. We honor the craft of writing and are committed to publishing with care, intention, and respect for our authors. We embrace writing that requires an effort on the part of both writer and reader to reach beyond our assumptions and biases to see the humanity, struggle, and truth in every human being.
