I'm making a template for article submission to Latin America Antiquity and noticed that they use a citation style that is not included in Biblatex. How can i create a style in Biblatex (and how can i upload it to be used by others)?

- I looked at https://www.saa.org/publications/latin-american-antiquity.
- The Style Guide states the following.
To alleviate software incompatibilities and related digital problems, authors using automated utilities such as linked footnotes and endnotes in MS Word or a bibliographic compiler (e.g., EndNote) must convert the output to plain text before uploading. Note that authors may also upload LaTeX source files to EM for peer review.

When formatting references cited prior to submitting a manuscript, authors should not attempt to duplicate how references look after they are typeset. Instead, authors should format them as follows. Entries should be flush left with an extra space between each entry. Authorship goes on the first line, followed by a hard return. The second line would be [tab] date [tab] title, etc. The title and remaining text of the reference should be allowed to flow without a hanging indentation as is seen in the typeset version.

If a bibliographic compiler (e.g., EndNote) has been used, authors are required to convert the output to plain text before submitting/uploading manuscripts.

biblatexstyle for that journal, double-check (possibly with the editor if there are no positive statements about this in the submission guidelines) that they accept LaTeX submissions and if they do so, double check that they can acceptbiblatexbibliographies. Many journals that accept LaTeX submissions want standardthebibliography/BibTeX-based bibliographies. The workflow forbiblatexbibliographies is significantly different.
