Geography doesn't matter. You can be based, anywhere! But do know that our founding editor and executive editor are based in EST, so most communication will take place during hours convenient for this time zone.

Interested? Email us at [email protected] with an intro letter, writing or art sample (depending on your desired role), and your resume OR 3-5 links to published work.

Quail Bell Magazine is pleased to introduce our intern Alex Rinaldi, who's been with us since the fall. Here's his bio:

Alex Rinaldi is a junior at George Washington University studying Theatre and Creative Writing. When not agonizing over which WIP to work on next (hint: it's none of them), he can be found performing with GW's Theatre program and student theatre or playing (but not always finishing) a variety of video games. He will also gladly rant to you about Brandon Sanderson for several hours if you let him.

Read his story Unbowed here.

Our founder Christine Sloan Stoddard founded a show called the Badass Lady-Folk of Brooklyn and hosted it on Radio Free Brooklyn before heading to grad school. Well, the show is being rebranded and revitalized! Now the show will focus on socially engaged women everywhere, not just Brooklyn. We will be posting episodes here at Quail Bell Magazine, the Quail Bell Press & Productions website, and elsewhere. Check back soon!
