I'm the editor and publisher of the San Francisco Appeal, which means I manage all the day-to-day operations of the Appeal. I used to be the San Francisco Chronicle's Deputy Managing Editor for Online, and started at the Chronicle as their blogging and interactive editor. Before that, I was a co-founding writer and the lead editor of SFist. I've been in the city since 1997, presently living in the Outer Sunset with my husband, three cats and two dogs. You can reach me at eve@sfappeal.com.
