I'm trying to create glowing text on an image, and was wondering if there was a way to do this, such as a lightmap?

use the luminous amount and luminous color channels in a material. anything you plug in there is basically additive (so black would be completely ignored).

I don't think luminosity from a material channel actually illuminates (creates light in a dark area)
