Former Catapult editorial fellow and current assistant editor Mallory Soto had this to say about her fellowship experience: “My fellowship with Catapult magazine taught me so many of the skills necessary to be a good editor—and writer. It’s a real joy shaping and sharing stories I desperately want to see in the world. I’ll always be proud of the magazine team and grateful for the chance to learn from them while basking in the glow of their passion.”
