Stories That Matter
Great storytelling does more than transform hearts, minds, and communities. It transports your audience to someplace new, someplace essential. Every voice—your voice—speaks a truth worth hearing, and every story sparks change. Our guiding principle is simple yet profound: We write and publish Stories That Matter. Our team helps authors shape their ideas into books that endure and messages that elevate. We work with leaders and advocates, visionaries and remarkable people to create and publish stories that inform, inspire, and ignite action, from deeply personal memoirs to meticulously researched works of narrative nonfiction. Stories are more than words on a page; they are catalysts for understanding, empathy, and justice. When you work with us, you’re doing much more that just writing and publishing a book: you’re amplifying a message that the world needs to hear. Urgently. We provide expert guidance for all points along the publishing spectrum: writing, editing, publishing, and multimedia production so your story reaches the audiences who need it most. From blank page to published book, our commitment is to you. We honor your voice, elevate your perspective, and ensure your work makes an impact. At the end of the day, publishing is about changing lives. That’s where we come in: Making your story matter. Let's go!

Honoring the Land and Its First Stewards
At The Catey Literary Agency, we gratefully acknowledge that our work takes place on the traditional and unceded lands of the Piscataway and Nacotchtank (Anacostan) peoples, who have for centuries stewarded these lands along the Potomac River.
We recognize their enduring presence and contributions, and we honor the stories, knowledge systems, and struggles of the Indigenous peoples whose lands we occupy.
As a Native-owned creative and justice-focused enterprise, we commit to amplifying Indigenous voices, deepening our relationships with Native communities, and supporting ongoing efforts for sovereignty, visibility, and reparations.
