So! While I was poking through Tumblr, I came across this.

Diverse book covers are something that are really in short supply. I think that this is an amazing idea. If the world will not provide for us, then we will provide for ourselves! I think I'll have 5 bucks to donate toward it in March, but I really want to see this succeed because I think it is necessary. I read fantasy, a lot of it, and on the rare chance I read a book with a black protag, you really can't tell from the cover. If Ms. Marion is trying to solve this problem herself, I think anyone who might have use of this resource should help.
I know that even if I never get published, seeing black folk in fantasy gear is just something I want for my own imagination.
