Company Profile

Company Description:

Pop-Up Magazine started in California. We’re endlessly fascinated and inspired by this place—and by our view of the country and the world from here. In October 2014, we launched The California Sunday Magazine, for weekends. We produce ambitious features and cinematic photography from across California, the West, Asia, and Latin America, for a national audience. We also make a beautifully designed print edition, which we distribute with select Sunday copies of the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle. 
California Sunday earned immediate national acclaim. It has already been named a finalist for ten National Magazine Awards, including General Excellence and Magazine of the Year, and won three. California Sunday is the first title in 25 years to win the National Magazine Award for Photography in consecutive years. In 2018, the Society of Publication Designers named California Sunday the Magazine of the Year. Our stories are frequently recommended by Longform, Longreads, The New York Times, and others, and our writers appear often on local and national public radio. A number of stories have been optioned for television or film.
