As a managing editor, I see every submission that comes into Quail Bell...and that is a LOT of submissions. We have Fledglings from all over the world sending their awesome matieral and it breaks my heart to have to turn any of them down.

But the whole crew has been wanting to get back to our roots lately, which means we want a sharper focus on the themes we're craving to see. With that said, I wanted to personally share exactly what Quail Bell has been searching for to make it easier on you to share your wonderful words with us. Below are several topic-specific calls for submissions with details and deadlines for submission with deadlines for your convenience. Aren't I nice?

When submitting to Quail Bell, please remember to take a look at our general submission guidelines as well for the best experience for everyone. For the following special calls, please adhere to any special instructions given (they aren't horrible, I promise!). When you're done, send your work to us at [email protected]. We can't wait to see what you've created!

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.
