# Magazine Roles

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](/sftp-publishing/archives-publishing/what-is-pubcom.md) and beyond who work on multiple issues of the magazine and can provide support and answer questions about our overall process.&#x20;

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