Who is Bolu Babalola?

Bolu Babalola, born in 1991, is a British author, screenwriter and journalist – a multi-hyphenate in the proper sense, working across books, screen and the press rather than merely collecting job titles. Her debut, the anthology Love in Colour, arrived in 2020 and promptly became a Sunday Times Bestseller.

Recognition followed beyond the book pages too: in 2021 she was named on the Forbes 30 under 30 list for Media and Marketing in Europe, confirmation that hers is a career being watched well beyond publishing. As British literary arrivals of recent years go, few have been as assured, and the trajectory already speaks for itself.

Bolu Babalola in audiobooks

Our catalogue carries Love in Colour itself, the anthology that made her name. Story collections are quietly one of audio’s best formats – each piece complete in a single sitting, ideal for commutes and stolen evenings – and a collection built around love offers that satisfaction many times over.

Babalola writes as someone fluent in more than one medium: a journalist’s economy and a screenwriter’s instinct for scene and dialogue both feed the fiction, and dialogue-led storytelling is precisely what performs best in the ear. For UK listeners wanting to hear where one of British writing’s brightest recent careers began, Love in Colour is the place.
