About

FlowerSong Press is proud to announce the launch of Xnital Books, a new imprint dedicated to publishing innovative and culturally resonant literature from the Borderlands, the Americas, and beyond.

Xnital Books will publish poetry in its first year and follow with fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid works that center on underrepresented voices and push the boundaries of literary form in the coming years. The name Xnital evokes illumination — a moment of clarity, revelation, and creative spark — reflecting the imprint’s mission to bring new light to contemporary literature.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.

Dates

Last Updated: 05 Jul 2026

We check their guidelines for changes every four weeks, and we audit the listing twice a year.
