Department Newsletter Submissions

Guidelines

  1. Write in the third person.
  2. Follow MLA Guidelines:
    • Titles of articles, essays, chapters, poems, songs, and speeches are wrapped in quotation marks (e.g. “A Bird came down the Walk”).
    • Titles of books, films, periodicals, plays, and databases are *italicized* (e.g., A Raisin in the Sun; see Table 1: Formatting Cues).
    • Hyperlinks must be attached to words or phrases and wrapped in curly brackets (e.g., Camelia had a poem in {Prairie Schooner https://prairieschooner.unl.edu}; see Table 1: Formatting Cues).
  3. Mark text that should be bolded, italicized, or linked using the formatting cues below. If you know HTML you are welcome to use valid HTML tags instead.
