Professional Re-design--FINALLY!

1/22/2013

Say good-bye to bloggy...

Dear fledglings,

We're good little birds who keep our New Year's resolutions. In fact, remember our committment to design in 2013? Sam Braden, a graphic designer based in the Washington, D.C. area, will be bringing us the QuailBellMagazine.com of our dreams. Tired of our bloggy look? So are we! We want something clean, big, and open that lets our images breathe, and gives our words plenty of space, too. We also want something that's intuitive and easy to navigate. We won't get any more specific than that because we want our re-launched website to be a real surprise. In the past, all of our re-design fiddling has really just been an experiment in template modification. Not anymore. This time, we're getting it done right and from scratch.

Our goal is to have the site finished for our tabling at the 2013 Brooklyn 'Zine Fest in April. We're also having our parent company website, QuailBell.com for Quail Bell Press & Productions, LLC., re-designed, too. Wowzers! We can't wait!!!

Until then, we won't be posting as much regular content because we want to have a bunch saved up for the new website. We hope you understand and we also hope that you're as excited as we are.

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.
