13th Floor Magazine, University of Nebraska at Omaha's literary magazine, aims to connect the campus and community through the power of storytelling. We create a biannual ebook and print publication of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and art, from local and international contributors. 13th Floor believes in the equalizing power of communicating stories from our everyday, and we are committed to sharing a diverse portfolio of talent that makes us accessible around the world. By acting as a vessel between our community and the world, our local writers and artists can set for themselves a place at the table of international art & culture.
