Scholarship Fund: The Children of Jackson Ward

12/8/2013

The Quail Bell Scholarship for Creative Promise

Thank you for your patience as we've worked to get The Children of Jackson Ward, our new poetry and photography book about Richmond's black, working-class downtown neighborhoods, off the ground. Christine Stoddard wrote the poems following her year as an AmeriCorps volunteer at G.W. Carver Elementary School, and Kristen Rebelo later took photographs on the streets of Carver, Newtowne West, Jackson Ward, and Gilpin Court to complement the poetry. The Children of Jackson Ward now has a webpage right here on Quail Bell Magazine and is also available as an ebook. Your purchase will help fund the Quail Bell Scholarship for Creative Promise! Check out the new webpage, which also includes The Poet Time's video of Pushcart nominee Jessica Reidy performing one of the collection's poems, "Everyday Seeing."

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.
