Letter From the Editor: Wake up...it's 2015!

1/6/2015

Welcome to the new year, Fledglings.

Dear Fledglings,

Ye olde school folks already know that today is the Epiphany; it's the culmination of Christmas. The famed Twelfth Day! My drummers are drumming in the background and my pipers are piping and my lords are a leaping.

While Christmas is ending, it's also the beginning of a new year. We're almost an entire week into 2015. It's time for hope. It's time for change. After all, our resolutions are still fresh. It's also time to thank you for reading Quail Bell. We have all sorts of quirk and insight and madness—the whole span of The Real and The Unreal—for you to relish each and every day.

And why not add something else to your reading list this year? Quail Bell Magazine's updates in your Facebook feed. You already like us. Now it's time to like like us. Just visit our Facebook page and give it the ol' thumbs up.

Happy New Year!

Feathery Hugs,

Christine Stoddard/"Luna Lark"

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.

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.
