Intro: Sam Braden

4/9/2013

This guy designed our new webby-site.

When Executive Editor Christine Stoddard and Art Director Kristen Rebelo were itching for change, they called upon graphic designer Sam Braden to wave his magic wand. Their wish? A new website. Wish granted.

Sam graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in, you guessed it, Graphic Design. Now he lives in the Washington, D.C. area, where he spends his free time eating blue crabs at the seat of the U.S. Capitol. (Wait, that's just what Washingtonians do in movies.) Actually, Sam works as a full-time designer. He doesn't eat blue crabs; he eats design. He breathes it, too. He's all about simple, minimalist elegance. He's also about team spirit and problem-solving. In fact, he learned how to deal with Weebly just for us. Well, he's slain that dragon. Thanks, Sam!

The Quail Hath LANDED.

Dear friends and enemies (hold it--only pals here),

If you've been wondering about our where-abouts, wonder no more. Quail Bell Magazine--your go-to ladies' pub for all that is imaginary, nostalgic, and otherworldly--is back. We're curiouser than ever before and we have no shame when it comes to negotiating the middle ground between The Real and The Unreal. Bookmark us, share our articles, "like" us on Facebook, submit your art/musings, become a part of our quail-centric planet. Quail Bell is a hub for dreamy women with a sense of history, justice, and, heck, fun.

But enough of our rambling. Please get to reading and oggling all of our prettiness!

Feathery hugs,
The Quail Bell Crew

About Us

Welcome to our staff blog, where you can learn more about The Quail Bell Crew.

History

Christine Stoddard conceived the idea for Quail Bell in late 2009 after writing a children's story by the same name, and launched the website as a college blog in 2010. In June 2013, Christine and former art director Kristen Rebelo officially launched Quail Bell Magazine as a global web magazine. Read our editorial mission statement to learn more.

The QB Crew

Christine Stoddard, Founding Editor

Art, media, and language have enchanted Christine Stoddard since the days of her early upbringing in Arlington, VA. While still a mere fairy flutter from D.C., Christine dove into creative activities, hoping that her artistic talents would distract her teachers from learning of her mathematical inability. Luckily, her plan worked. Her non-math skills have been recognized by regional and national organizations. In October 2011, Style Weekly Magazine named her one of the "Top 40 Under 40" in Richmond, VA, while she was still a VCUarts student. Christine currently lives and works in her native Virginia. Email her at: [email protected].

Gretchen Gales,

Executive Editor
Though Gretchen first dedicated her life to being a veterinarian and a best-selling writer on the side, her lack of technical abilities helped guide her towards a literary and art career. Gretchen has published work in Ms., Bustle, The Establishment, and over 30 other publications. She also has been interviewed in Dear English Major and Her Campus. More of her work can be found at writinggales.wordpress.com.
