Inner Weather

Want to cut your chops in the literary world? Inner Weather is UNI’s student-run literary magazine, housed in the Department of Languages and Literatures. Published annually, the magazine highlights fiction, nonfiction, poetry and artwork submitted by students, faculty and staff. A team of contributing editors works diligently through the year, supervising every stage in the publication process from initial publicity and selection, to layout, editing, proofing, printing and distribution.

Under the guidance of a faculty advisor, students interested in the world of editing can gain hands-on experience in publication. The magazine is roughly 70 pages, featuring anywhere from 10 to 30 writers. Inner Weather also publishes the winner of the Roberta S. Tamres Award, a science fiction contest established by former UNI Provost Aaron Podolevsky.
