Theme to Use: The Holiday Season
Form to use: short story or poem

Nov. 10, 2022 ~ Dec. 18, 2022

Directions

As we set our sights on the holiday seasons, it’s time to reflect on what it means to us. How it makes us feel, the emotions it places upon our hearts, good or bad. Chapbook Volume VI centers on the theme “The Holiday Season” and what it means to you.

Is it:

  • A Christmas story,
  • holiday memories from your childhood,
  • reflection on your connection with God,
  • the winter and its glory,
  • a fictional tale of fun,
  • a poem about the seasons,
  • thoughts of a new year coming,
  • or times with family and friends?

No matter what it may be, submit your piece and let us see what the holiday season means to you.
