Guidelines for Submissions

We are looking for very well written works that will make the reader want more. 

We welcome any art that would accompany a submission. The art submitted may belong to the author or to another artist and would be published under the artist's name.

You don’t need to sign your submissions with your real name however, if necessary, especially for real stories, please, indicate the geographical area where you live, like Midwestern US or France, Europe or southeast Europe or Asia.  Of course you will use your real name for submission as well as contact information so we could pay for a prize if the case is.

* Political, social and cultural essays - not necessarily on trending issues as nothing is really obscure and there are things that wait to be discovered and shared
​

* ​Satirical representation of a group or of society  in general - can be created as a short story or an essay or comic bands. We would love to see a comic band - could target any brackets of age or to a specific one

* Poems and poetry


Important: style and vocabulary

​ 

* Interviews - you can interview an author or newspaper people or even a teacher or any other person who is in the position of influencing people's character or their future career.  You should be able to invite comments and further discussions

* Portraits - not necessarily of someone famous.  We are looking for portraits of everyday people but might represent an oddity or touch a special emotional string. We aren't talking about a description ad litteram but in a specific context, through actions.

* Social reporting or fun reporting: write about issues close to your heart; about something you believe in; about a change you want to see or a polemic on a specific subject; you can choose to make people think or laugh or feel joy, sadness, pleasure or sorrow


​* Book reviews -a review of any book that caught your interest. Your review could invite to comments and discussions and we would even welcome you to develop a blog if your reviews warrant it. Your can even lead to the creation of a book club online

Be bold and creative: you can work on everything else
​

* Short - stories, novellas, series - the topic is your choice. It can be a thrilling suspense story or a sweet romance or a historical series. As long as you convey the message creatively, it will be fine. 

* 
Fantastic stories or even series that would relate to a specific age bracket or to all ages; be bold and imaginative,  offer a trip towards a parallel universe or bring your reader in a world of wonder or of mayhem, of disaster and of battles. Always keep in mind that writing is meant to transport the reader somewhere  else in a  captivating, thrilling , mesmerizing world.
​
​*
 Section with real stories - something that touched you and helped you make a decision or develop future behaviors or something that either would help the reader to identify themselves with the story or would enrich their experience. It can be something funny or sad. 

Royalties & Fees

 Regular submissions - no reading fee.
 

Submit by sending your work by email to: scarletleafpublishinghouse@gmail.com 

For poems - you should submit between 3 and 5 poems (we accept one poem only exceptionally) 

For fiction, non-fiction, reviews, series and interviews, we accept maximum 30 k words but we prefer around 5000 words.

Submissions should be sent by email at scarletleafpublishinghouse@gmail.com as a word attachment (no one drive, notes or anything else). You can also paste poems or stories in the body of the email. We do not accept any other format.

We don't need a bio or a cover letter when you submit. We don't read the bios. Regardless of who you are, if your submission is good, you will be published.

Photos must not be submitted as PDF or in a word document. For the print issue, we would prefer not to see New Times Roman font. MagCloud hates this font, and it is incredibly difficult to get rid of it. 

Please, reply to the email we send to you. We will not chase through the entire inbox to see if you accepted publication or not. 

THIS IS A NON-PROFIT MAGAZINE. WE CANNOT PAY FOR SUBMISSIONS. 

YOU KEEP ALL RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR SUBMISSION. YOU GIVE US ONLY THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH IT IN THE MAGAZINE. You can publish your submission anywhere else afterward. You do not need our approval. 

HOWEVER, IF THE SUBMISSION WAS PUBLISHED, WE CANNOT REMOVE IT FROM THE SITE. THERE IS TOO MUCH WORK INVOLVED: READING, FORMATTING, PUBLISHING, AND THEN REMOVING... THEREFORE - NO REMOVAL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.


THE ISSUE FOR A SPECIFIC MONTH WILL BE LIVE DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH. 
FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SUBMISSION IS ACCEPTED FOR OCTOBER, IT WILL BE ONLINE IN NOVEMBER. 


It is an online issue - there is no PRINT - no hard format, so, please, stop asking for that.
