We're one year old.

Happy one year anniversary!

Dear fledglings,

Thank you so much for giving us a full year of your dedication. Last year, we launched our website on September 11, transferring content from Christine Stoddard's blog to the new and improved QuailBellMagazine.com--a full-fledged experiment in the imaginary, the nostalgic, and the otherworldy.

Now we have submissions and contributors from all over the world and, even though we're just beginning, we've already gotten a fair amount of exposure. We've launched a print 'zine, created a mobile app, put on a fashion show, and tabled at several art festivals. There's only more more to come.

Again, thank you for lending us your ears and eyes. We love our readers and know that you love us, too.

Feathery hugs,
The QB 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.
