 [Editor in Chief]
Heather Findlay published her first feminist erotica magazine Positions
when she was a 23-year-old senior at Brown University. After Cornell University awarded
her a Ph.D. in English in 1992, she became the editor of On Our Backs from
1993-1994. Her work has been published in academic and popular journals from Feminist
Studies to Out Magazine, and she is editor of A Movement of
Eros: 25 Years of Lesbian Erotica (Kasak/Masquerade). |

[Publisher]
Erin Findlay gave up her luxurious life In
November of 1994 as a Marin homemaker to support her daughter's new publishing venture.
She served as a city councilwoman in Belvedere in the 1980s, and as a staff writer at The
Ark newspaper since 1977. She is a model mom in every way. She does our books,
helps organize promotions, takes us out to lunch a lot, and threatens everyone who owes us
money. |

[Associate Editor] Jenny Pritchett just joined on. |

 [Online
Editor] Nyondo Nadi is a
recent addition to Girlfriends. Previously employed as a web-site reviewer, a
computer consultant, and a freelance writer, she says that her new position is "an
adventure, every day." She resides in San Francisco with two wives, a girlfriend,
five cats, and way, way, too many computers. |

Director] April Bridgeman grew up
in Missoula, Montana. After briefly attending the University of Montana as a journalism
student she moved out to California, switched majors, and graduated from San Francisco
State University with a BA in Graphic Communication. Aprill gained her experience working
as a Graphic Designer at a software company, and at an advertising firm. |

 [Advertising
Director] Catherine Draper
worked at SF Weekly, the local alternative weekly, before joining Girlfriends. She
felt strongly about what Girlfriends was offering and jumped at the chance to work
here. In her spare time, she plays "monsters" with her three-year-old son,
and studies astrology. |

[Account Manager]
Robyn Head also illustrates our monthly astrology
column. |

[Marketing
Director] Nikki Galvan spends most
of her days at work promoting and circulating two great lesbian mags: Girlfriends and On
Our Backs. If you don't subscribe yet, you will! After spending three years at
the United States Military Academy (West Point) she is highly motivated and focused in all
that she does. When she's not working, she's playing. Depending on the season, you'll
either see her playing soccer, flag football or some other physical sport. And if she's
not playing the sport, she's taking pictures of it. Got a sport for her to try? |

 [Assistant Marketing
Director] Maia Klein is fortunate
to live and work in a place where the norm for coffee table coverage is gay and lesbian
publications. She's always pleasantly surprised when she allows her impulses to take
control. Who would've thought they would lead her here? |
