Last week we featured Los Angeles, and today we move up the coast to San Francisco. Jill Singer speaks with editor-in-chief Bruce Kelley about the magazine, featuring a new look in November. This is a great place to pitch for new writers, as the editors are interested in finding new voices. "The magazine is always looking for urban trend stories. The current issue, for example, has a 500-word piece called 'The Ghosts of San Francisco Present,' which looks at the eerily quiet neighborhoods that result when non-natives buy up property in the city as second homes...Other pitchables: Writers can pitch profiles, but only if you have access to someone the editors haven't been able to snag or if it's somebody who hasn't gotten a lot of previous coverage."

Travel and criticism are off-limits. Email pitches to assistant editor Scott Hocker, who will file pitches with the correct editor.
