Octavia Butler
(1947 - 2006)
"Freedom is dangerous but it's precious, too. You can't just throw it away or let it slip away."
―Parable of the Sower, 1993
James Baldwin
(1924 - 1987)
"Freedom is not something that anybody can be given; freedom is something people take and people are as free as they want to be."
― Nobody Knows My Name, 1961
Mark Aguhar
(1987 - 2012)
"Why is power so reduced to testosterone and money and the phallus? Where are the tricksters, and the sneaks, marked by illusion and deception and joy and glamour and transformation?"
― Calloutqueen
Vision
We want to be free
Pomegranate Books envisions a world where all people can experience freedom. We aim to be a hub for creative autonomy, where writers can take words to paper in reclamation of their power.
​​
We believe a better world can exist, and it's our duty to show it is possible through compelling stories, characters and narratives.
