BUSAYO MATULUKO is a Black British-Nigerian nurse and a YA/crossover mystery and romance author. Her debut novel, ‘TIL DEATH, was published by Simon & Schuster after selling in a significant six-figure pre-empt. She’s also an award-nominated BookTok creator, recognised at the inaugural TikTok Book Awards in the Creator of the Year category for her bold and opinionated content. Her love for the young-adult genre on the platform meant she was recognised and announced as a judge for the 2025 YA Book Prize.

‘TIL DEATH released on January 30th 2025 and was an ‘Instant YA Fiction Bestseller’ debuting at #3, and #5 the following week. ‘TIL DEATH was a Spring Scholastic Book Fair Young Adult Pick and has a special edition with The Works.

As someone who grew up reading many books without the representation she desired (books with Black and Nigerian leads filled with so much joy), she started writing to fulfil that need.

Her books are filled with vibrant Nigerian leads that talk too much, and she will always find a way to wriggle in two Black people falling in love. When she’s not writing, you can find her on Twitter at three a.m. tweeting her most random thoughts or binge-watching TV shows she’s already watched about a thousand times (probably Desperate Housewives).
