Hello Everyone, 

We wanted to let you know that we have just added a PayPal Donate button to our review. 

As you know, the review is non-profit and this is one way to help paying for the prizes and, more important, to bring to life the dream of having the review in print, as many of you were asking about that. Hopefully, this will come true within a few months. 

The same time, we'd like to let you know that within two months, we will publish three anthologies: one with poems, one with essays and one with short-stories, showcasing some of the authors that have already been published in the magazine and whose work you love, considering how many reads they have had so far. 

Please, use the contact form, leaving your contact email if you want to receive the news from us directly. 

Have a great evening, 

Scarlet Leaf Review Staff

NEWSLETTER - SHORT-STORY AWARDS

          Dear Readers,

 
      At the end of April, the submission for the short-story contest ended.
We received 13 submissions and we liked the odds. 13 is a very beautiful prime number!
And the irony was that submission number 13 won the contest! Way to go, number 13!
 
    We loved all the stories and we felt that all of them should have been winners. However, as we had to choose only three, we held a secret vote and, ironic again, with one vote astray, we all voted the same three stories and the order of the winners.
 
   Please, allow us to present the winners of the first short-story competition organized by Scarlet Leaf Review:
 
FIRST AWARD       - $150  - ARTHUR LUCIAN     – THE SHADOW
 
SECOND AWARD - $100 – Aleena Dumovski     – THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
 
THIRD AWARD       - $75 – Mira Popescu             –
THE BUILDING
 
    Join us, please, to congratulate the three winners of the short-story competition of 2016!
 
    Also, please, read their stories and let them and us know what you think!

Dear Readers, 

               On May 15th, at 4:30 am Eastern Time, the fifth issue of our literary review will be on line. 

                You can find everything you want to read under the drop-down menu, which will show Poems, Short-Stories, Essays&Reviews. 

               Don't forget: there are categories on the right hand of each page, and they will help you to choose a specific author (although, it would be a good idea to read all of them, because all of them have something interesting to say, believe me!)

              We do hope you will be delighted with what the review has to offer this May. 

                Next week, you will have the possibility to see who won the prizes for poetry and prose for April and the week after th
at, you will see the awards for our short-story competition! 

                 So, we think, it is worth to check our magazine often!

                 Have a beautiful and literary month of May!

Picture


Two men reveal their darkest secrets one to the other through dry humor and sarcasm. They picture life like a web of dark and grey areas. Dissatisfaction may lead to crime in order to gain some self-respect. Will it be a crime in the end?


Rick Edelstein was born and ill-bred on the streets of the Bronx. His initial writing was stage plays off-Broadway in NYC. When he moved to the golden marshmallow (Hollywood) he cut his teeth writing and directing multi-TV episodes of “Starsky & Hutch,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Chicago,” “Alfred Hitchcock,” et al. He also wrote screenplays, including one with Richard Pryor, “The M’Butu Affair” and a book for a London musical, “Fernando’s Folly.” His latest evolution has been prose with many published short stories and novellas, including, “Bodega,” “Manchester Arms,” “America Speaks,” “Women Go on,” “This is Only Dangerous,” “Aggressive Ignorance,” “Buy the Noise,” and “The Morning After the Night.” He writes every day as he is imbued with the Judeo-Christian ethic, “A man has to earn his day.” Writing atones.


Picture

Two men discuss their role in life as a father or husband or a single man in the dating scene of single bars, and how the new roles changed their life. Interesting point of view upon marriage, fatherhood, sex nowadays and potential jobs. Their discussion brings into focus the differences in thinking between women and men and how they feel about the new definition of the sexes.

Hello Dear Readers, 

To make it easy to navigate our review, we will archive each month after the 15th of the following month. 

To see past issues, you simply put the mouse on Archives and use the drop-down menu, which will lead you to the works you want to read. 

Believe me, it is worth the trouble, as our past issues boast some very good poems and interesting stories, which make you think, feel and dream. 

We are in the fantasy business, in the business of arousing awareness and I am sure every single piece of poetry or prose would lead you there. 

Have fun!
