Washington, D.C. — Book Blaster, the AI-powered marketing platform for authors and publishers, has secured a $120,000 investment from the HBCU Founders Fund Fall Cohort.
The investment recognizes Book Blaster's potential to fundamentally change how authors—particularly those from underrepresented communities—promote and sell their books. The platform simplifies what has historically been the hardest part of being an indie author: getting discovered.
Book Blaster's core tools include AI-generated landing pages, cinematic book trailers, email campaigns, and ad creative—all built from a book's existing metadata. Authors can launch a full marketing campaign in minutes instead of weeks.
"This investment marks a pivotal moment for Book Blaster," said Cameron Clarkson, the non-binary founder and CEO and Howard University graduate. "We're here to make professional-grade book marketing accessible to every author, regardless of background or budget. That mission just got a significant boost."
The HBCU Founders Fund is a $40 million accelerator supporting early-stage companies with ties to historically Black colleges and universities. The fund provides capital, mentorship, and operational resources to founders building scalable, high-impact businesses.
