marginsbox is a bookish subscription box featuring Black, Indigenous, and person of color (BIPOC) young adult authors alongside handcrafted items from BIPOC creators curated to coincide with book themes. These items range from fan-created artwork of novel characters to socks reminiscent of what a given character might wear to enamel pins related to specific scenes in a novel. The idea began years ago, but was pushed into reality in December 2018. The box is co-founded by young adult authors cara davis and Adrianne Russell.
We created marginsbox with one goal in mind: to broaden readers’ horizons by connecting them to books from BIPOC young adult authors. As has been shown recently, the demand for stories from diverse voices is skyrocketing. But subscription book boxes aren’t catering to readers who want to read broadly. The market has a significant gap in promotions for BIPOC authors and it’s time for a change. With marginsbox, these voracious, adventurous readers are guaranteed a new-release novel from a BIPOC author every month—with the awesome bonus of supporting BIPOC creators as well!
