Submission Guidelines

Submission Period for Spring 2023

November 15, 2022 - March 1, 2023


What to Submit

  • Poetry (3-5 poems)
  • Creative Nonfiction (no more than 5,000 words)
  • Fiction (no more than 5,000 words)
  • Micro-fiction or nonfiction (500-750 words)

  • Visual Art (3-5 pieces)

Feel free to submit to more than one genre and/or to send an excerpt of a longer work. You can also send just one piece of art or one poem, but sending 3-5 gives editors a wider range to consider. We only ask that you send your best work for consideration and follow the guidelines here.

How to Submit

  • Our editors read submissions blind, so please remove all identifying material from your submission—within the body of your writing and/or on your artwork.
  • File names should include the title and genre of your work, such as "Poetry: Happy Days" (when sending art and/or poetry that includes more than one piece, please use the title of the first piece included in your submission , but do not include any part of your name).
  • All submissions should be emailed to 13thfloormagazine@gmail.com.
  • Include, in the body of your submission email, a 3rd person bio as outlined at the bottom.
  • We accept written work in Word .doc/x or PDF and art in PNG or JPEG (at least 300 dpi)

Poetry: submit no more than 5 poems per submission with all poems in one file (one poem/page).

Prose: submit one story/essay/play per file. Be sure to double-space and to use page numbers.

Visual Art: please send high-resolution, quality images free of glare and distractions, and indicate your medium in the body of your email (e.g.: oil on canvas).

In your submission email, be sure to include a 50-word bio, written in the 3rd person and noting your affiliation to UNO, as we only publish students, alum, faculty, and staff of the University.
