Magazine Roles

Who's who in the Publications Committee and magazine operations.

Each issue of SftP magazine is produced by a dedicated team of volunteers who form an Editorial Collective. There are also volunteers from within SftP’s publications committee and beyond who work on multiple issues of the magazine and can provide support and answer questions about our overall process.

Everyone is able to submit a proposal to contribute writing or art to the magazine, or take on multiple roles if they have capacity.
