- 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.

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.
