The Pocamug Press colophon shown above is a lightning-quill-in-a-jar, designed by Karina Arreola (@ karinadesignca.com). The concept of capturing lightning in a jar goes back to Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiments, paying homage to the famous writer, editor, and publisher. The combination of lightning and a quill captures the electronic nature of today’s publishing business. The quill writes on the pages of a book, here represented in a form suggesting a fountain or rainbows, symbolizing both the source of knowledge and the diversity of human experience.

We are an independent publishing company founded in 2014.
