The San Franciscan publishes two print issues per year featuring work from a diverse group of local artists and writers. While contributors do not need to be current residents of San Francisco, we are looking for artists with a strong connection to the Bay Area. We are always excited to receive queries and submissions from artists and illustrators who are passionate about our mission. Reach out with any questions: info@thesanfranciscanmagazine.com

The San Franciscan publishes literary journalism including short- and long-form reported pieces, photo essays, reviews featuring cultural commentary or critique, profiles, data visualizations, and more. For our featured illustration needs, we try to match artists with written pieces based on their style, unique angle, and connection to the topic.
