Our Editors

Kendall Storey is Editor-in-Chief at Catapult. She is especially interested in literary fiction, but is also open to artful narrative nonfiction. She is drawn to writers who possess a poet’s interest in style, and to books that are formally inventive or emotionally visceral, with something potent and questioning to say about the world.

Her recent publications include Meghan Gilliss’ Lungfish, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice; Brenda Lozano’s Witches, translated by Heather Cleary, A Kirkus Best Book of the Year; Anja Kampmann’s High as the Waters Rise, translated by Anne Posten, a National Book Award finalist; and Lauren Oyler’s Fake Accounts, a national bestseller. Previously she worked as Associate Editor at Archipelago Books and was Co-Director of Elsewhere Editions, a nonprofit children’s imprint devoted to picture books in translation.
