Victoria Bañales: A Jamii Publishing Author
In her debut collection, The Sun Will Not Harm You by Day, Nor the Moon by Night, Victoria’s poetry reads like a love letter to her family and community. Her tender and often humorous accounts of family histories, coming of age, identity, and the richness of her culture emphasize the love and complexity of her Mexicana/Chicana experience.

About Jamii Publishing
The Vision
We know that poetry is greater than all its parts. We feel that it is truth from deep within and in its greatness, in its vastness, in its enormity we find that poetry is all encompassing and visionary-- seeing deep into our history, the breadth of our present, and far into our future. Creative writing is a tool that gives voice to the voiceless.
The Mission
Our mission at Jamii Publishing is to foster the communion of artists from all genres, foster growth in the artistic world, and to bring these arts to the community. We strive to work with artists who are already active in the community as well as those who have a desire to reach outside of their comfort zone and share their art with the larger world. We want to gift books to these dedicated people and help them in turn help others.
The Goal
Our goal is to put great books out into the world for artists who might not have a chance otherwise. We seek books that push boundaries, and act as endeavors for a larger goal, by teaching, sparking conversation, highlighting a social need, making a soul laugh. We publish chapbooks, artbooks, spoken word CD's, broadsides, anthologies, and handmade books for minorities and women as a means of breaking down barriers and creating community.
At Jamii Publishing, we believe that poetry is not a solitary art. Poetry is an art form that brings people together.
Send Us Your Work!
We publish literary poetry. But that definition can be quite broad. We look for things that are unusual and a bit hard to categorize. Slipstream, hybrid, children's poetry, multiple authors, short story, lyric essay, visual/textual is all fine.
We will open back for submissions in June 2026. Go to the Jamii website for more information.

Prickly Pear Publishing & Nopallli Press
All the Voices in the Room
About Prickly Pear Publishing
Prickly Pear Publishing & Nopalli press was started back in 1998 by a couple of writers in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area in response to the lack of publishing opportunities for People of Color (POC) and Women. With the exception of creating short run hand-bound, sewn, or stapled chapbooks — and with the help of local artists to do cover art and book design - the cost of printing full-length collections was still prohibitive.
The other almost insurmountable challenge was distribution. Our books had to be sold by word of mouth, at readings, performances, and workshops. With the advent of print on demand, the ability to sell and purchase books on-line, and through social media, increased possibilities of publishing more work by more writers of color, women, and youth.
Today, there are more opportunities for more and varied voices. The days and pressure of having to contend with the ever unfriendly and elitist gatekeepers who are not understanding of BIPOC writers’ work, or are not very interested in publishing it, at least for now, has lessened.
We continue to celebrate and support independent publishers, bookstores, and booksellers and understand the need to create more opportunities for communities of color, women, and youth to have their voices heard.

We prioritize work by BIPOC writers whose voices have been systematically and historically excluded. Visit our Submittable page for more information.
