The magazine is produced by California Sunday, a San Francisco-based media company. They also publish a live magazine called Pop-Up Magazine.

McGray said: “We started a media company. We approached it like a story production company. Some of the things we’d make would be live experiences, live stories, and some of the things we’d make would be stories for you to read at home.”[5] With both, McGray says the focus is on “finding fascinating, surprising stories and designing them beautifully.”[1]
