Washingtonian Wonder

The Big Move

Executive Editor Christine Stoddard is moving to Washington, D.C.--an established city for journalists, a blossoming city for designers, and home to one of the biggest theatre scenes in the United States. Sure, the city doesn't have the most creative reputation, but that's only because its political one is so huge that it can't help but overshadow the rest of the metro's industries. In truth, there's a lot going in D.C. best politics (not that our fledglings don't enjoy the occasional feminist rant.)

What does Christine's new life mean for QB? More fun, more mayhem, and more content. Don't worry. This blog will keep rolling! Many of the blog's main contributors are staying in Richmond, but Christine's move also means a greater potential for D.C. contributors to join The QB Crew.

Expect a jump in D.C.-based content, as well as content about the surrounding area, from Northern Virginia to Southern Maryland to Baltimore and more. Unlike Richmond, D.C. is also home to many big traveling centers, which will make it easier for Christine to skip town and tell you more about the world through writing and photography. Trips to Philly and NYC alone will be much easier. So here's to wanderlust--and many new adventures!

Because the imaginary, the nostalgic, and the otherworldly exist everywhere.

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.
