All About Us

The Slo Coast Journal is all about life in one of the finest, most beautiful areas of the country — the Central Coast of California. An amazing collection of eclectic, fascinating, and talented individuals from all walks of life have chosen to make this part of the world their home. Many of those who don't already live here wonder how they can make the move. 

Our writers are an enthusiastic group of people who are on these pages to share their love of this special place. In case you are wondering, each is asked to pick a favorite animal for their banner. Some of the choices are a bit perplexing, but, oh well. Not only are the writers enthusiastic, they are sometimes a bit — ahh — let's say . . . unique.

We welcome your input, suggestions, and, of course, praise. You can write to your favorite columnists and contributors from this page: Writer's Index

The opinions expressed on this site, whether by a columnist, advertisement, or editorial content, do not necessarily reflect the views of this publication's management or staff. We edit. We don't dictate personal or political stances or stifle anyone's way of expressing themselves.

Do you have an idea for an ongoing column that you would like to write? We'd love to hear it. Contact: Judy Sullivan

We happily support local poets and fiction writers. If you would like to have a place to share your work, contact Judy Sullivan.

Do you have photographs you would like to share with our site visitors? Send them along to Judy Sullivan. If they are used, you will be credited, of course, and, if you like, we will link to your site. You can also post your best images to the Flickr group Slo Coast Journal Photographs for consideration to be chosen for our Great Shots pages.

The images used on banners throughout the site are shared with us by a variety of photographers. Some do so anonymously. Where possible we like to acknowledge the talent and generosity of the photographer. Current banner images and the contributor are: Front Page-Great Blue Heron by Nan Carder; The Business of the Journal, Town Business, It's Our Nature, Slo Coast Arts, Slo Cost Life, Archives, About Us, and Writer's Index - Peregrine Falcons all by Cleve Nash. Stan's Place - Bobcat by Cleve Nash. News - Belted Kingfisher by Cleve Nash. Other images are, unless otherwise indicated, either free use or shared by photographers who prefer to go unmentioned.
