Editor's Note

Potomac Review Issue #44 Fall 2008
Venetian Bridge, by Megan Wood

In our busy fall season, I have several items to tell you about….

The F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Conference held here on October 25th was an amazing success. Honoree Elmore Leonard gave a great reading to a packed house; the morning panel, “Crime and Mystery- a new yet familiar genre,” featured an array of talent with George Pelecanos, Laura Lippman, and Elmore Leonard,  and moderator Michael Dirda. Susan Cheever gave a great talk about writing and the evolution of literature. The writing workshops and the new shortened schedule for the conference were well received by the 300+ people who participated. My sincere thanks to all our helpers who made the day a success. 

We, the Editors and interns of the Potomac Review, loved meeting new people and talking about writing all day.  Check on the website; we hope to have photos posted soon.

The biggest news I say for last. The Fiction contest is Back. Click on the link for all the details. We are proud to have Alix Ohlin as our judge.

The leaves are turning beautiful colors around us here in Maryland. I love November blue skies and great writing. Keep writing, keep submitting.


Hot Opener


Tipzi Czajka Has Her Way
A short story by
Martha Holmes

     Tough as a boot she was, I’m thinking, as I drive to her motel room 26 years after last seeing her.  Not the type to cry. Never told a lie. She was a brown-eyed redhead, but probably not anymore. You’d have to be willing to lie to be a redhead when you’re 58. And, yes, she’d be 58 now, as I am.
