Starlin Marot

Starlin Marot is the founder of Bad Girl Books, the UK's first romantasy bookshop, which emerged from her passion for the genre after discovering it on TikTok. Her journey from a non-reader to a dedicated bookshop owner reflects the growing popularity of romantasy, a subgenre that combines elements of fantasy and romance, particularly among young female audiences. Through her pop-up events and now a permanent store, she has created a community for fans to explore and celebrate this vibrant literary world.
