Catapult Student Highlights! August edition

Student writing in The New York Times, Brooklyn Magazine, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and more.

One of our favorite things to do is brag about the students in Catapult’s writing program. Below, you’ll find stories and essays in publications including The New York Times, The Rumpus, and Extra Crispy, as well as acceptances to MFAs and other programs.
