Submissions

The Nontechnical is about people, places, and the things that make life worth paying attention to.

Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, business, a cultural figure, or just someone with a story worth telling — we'd love to hear from you.

What we cover Gallery shows and artist studios, independent restaurants and bars, fashion and emerging designers, cultural events and happenings, ideas, people and places shaping life in San Francisco, and beyond.

What we're looking for Stories with a point of view. We're not a listings site or a press release board — we write about things that feel alive, rooted in San Francisco, or relevant outside of it. If you think what you're doing fits that, tell us why.

How to reach us Send a brief note to info@nontechnical.zone with a description of what you do, why it's relevant right now, and any relevant links or images. We read everything and will follow up if there's a fit.
