Anne Evers Hitz

Proud to be a fifth-generation San Franciscan, author Anne Evers Hitz has had a long interest in San Francisco history, its lore and legends. As an author, she looks for the human side of history, the stories of immigrants building their lives and the city that they flocked to. A graduate of U.C. Berkeley, Hitz is a writer, editor, and project manager who has had her own communications consulting firm in San Francisco for over 25 years. Anne is the author of Lost Department Stores of San Francisco (2020), San Francisco's Ferry Building (2017) and Emporium Department Store (2014). She is a volunteer guide at the Ferry Building for City Guides, a group of local volunteers who give free walking tours of San Francisco.
