MCC students, The Metropolitan accepts your submissions year round with a deadline for each year’s issue. Keep in mind that we seek high quality writing  of all types--academic and literary writing, including descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive works, as well as creative prose and poetry--but you do not need to be a professional writer, artist, or photographer to place your work here. As you ready your work, we suggest you keep readers in mind, browse selections in our archive, and talk with others about what you've written--you might want to consult with the Writing Center.

To consider your work for publication, we need a signed consent form and an electronic copy of the text. For visual art, see below. Submit your work by following these steps:

1) Prepare the consent form

Obtain a hardcopy consent form from any MCC Writing Center, or print a copy of the form, available at

http://www.mccneb.edu/library/facultyservices/consent.pdf 

to open and print the form.

Sign the form. Please add your e-mail address to the contact information.

2) Prepare the electronic copy of the work

(If you need help, visit the Writing Center or call Cindy Catherwood at 738-4683)

E-mail copy:  Type your name, phone number and e-mail address at the top of your work or in the body of your message, and send the file as an attachment to

metropolitan@mccneb.edu

Send the consent form to us by way of campus or U.S. mail at the address below, or by fax:

(402) 738-4556

Disk copy:  Type your name, phone number and e-mail address at the top of written works. Save the file(s) to a 3.5" disk or other portable storage. Label the disk with your name and the title of the work.

Visual Art:  Scan or digitally photograph the item at high resolution--we like TIFF or JPEG--and prepare a separate file that contains your contact information, the work's title, and the media/medium. Save the files to a 3.5" disk or other portable storage. Label the disk with your name and the title of the work. For art only, we also accept quality reproductions--photocopies and photos--no larger than 8.5x11 inches.

Attach the disk/portable copy of your work to the consent form, and send these to
