Letter from the Editor: Deniz Ataman is Awesome

6/16/2015

Thank you, Deniz!

Dear Fledglings,

It's been a while since you've heard from me and I've missed you! The brilliant Deniz Ataman, our managing editor, has been holding down the feathery fort the past few months while I dealt with a family emergency, prepped for my wedding, got married, and went on my mini-moon. Thank you, Deniz, for bringing your creativity and attention to detail to Quail Bell Landia. And thank you, dear readers, for coming back, day after day, week after week.

Right now the big news is that we have the New York City Poetry Festival and Pete's Mini Zine Fest coming up next month. Please come say hi!

Until then...

Feathery Hugs,
Christine Stoddard/"Luna Lark"
Founding Editor

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.
