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.
