Happy December, Medium Family! We are having so much fun here at Soul Magazine that, in collaboration with the man himself, we’ve decided to test your ‘Naughty and Nice’ writing skills with multiple challenges this month.

In this challenge, we are asking that you write your very own Santa Claus story. It can be Poetry, Fiction, Nonfiction (If you choose this one, then pictures, please! Just kidding, well… sort of. 😉), Short Story, or any other genre you choose. This challenge is running all month. You may submit as many articles as you want, in as many genres as you desire.

Make sure to properly credit your images 😉, use Soul Magazine as one of your topics, and check out the rest of the submission guidelines below. If you are not a writer with us and would like to be, I have provided a link at the bottom of this article that will take you to our submissions guidelines page. From there, you will receive further instructions on how to join Soul Magazine as a writer.

Depending on the amount of submissions, we will be publishing an article containing all of the challenge articles at the end of the month. If you are feeling very inspired, we will publish multiple articles featuring all of your submissions.

Let’s get started! HO! HO! HO!

Submission Guidelines!

  1. Comply with Medium’s Terms of Service and Rules.
  2. Please properly credit all images.
  3. Use Soul Magazine, December, Santa Claus, and Challenge for 4 of your topics. Your final topic spot can be whatever genre your piece is: Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Short Story, etc.
  4. Please use both a Title and a Subtitle for your submission. If you are submitting a Poem, a Subtitle is not mandatory.
  5. Include at least one main photo to accompany your article. Please position your image under the Subtitle unless your piece is Poetry and only has a Title. Then, its position should be under the Title.
  6. Original, non-spam writing only.
  7. Link back to this article and tag the author so we can keep better track of challenge submissions.

Happy and Healthy Holidays, Everyone!
