Catapult Publishing

Ah,if I had a manuscript ready to go, I might send something onto Catapult.

Catapult publishes award-winning fiction and nonfiction of the highest literary caliber under imprints Catapult, Counterpoint, and Soft Skull Press. We also offer writing classes taught by acclaimed emerging and established writers, and publish an award-winning daily online magazine of narrative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. 

We nurture emerging writers by helping them better their craft, and support more established writers by evenly sharing revenues from the classes they teach, and by paying to publish their work online. Catapult strives to be a successful business model for the future of independent publishing.
