Stand Alone

Nicola MacNaughton

Nicola MacNaughton is the co-owner of Slow Burn Books, Canada’s first brick-and-mortar romance bookstore. With a degree in Marketing and Business Technology Management from UBC, MacNaughton initially worked in sales and marketing; however she couldn’t resist the pull of opening a romance bookstore with her sister Shannon, a venture that aligned perfectly with her love of the genre. Slow Burn Books is a testament to their dedication to fostering a community-focused, safe space for romance readers. MacNaughton’s eclectic taste in romance spans sports, contemporary, dark, fantasy, and even a bit of monster romance. Her ideal day consists of getting lost in the pages of a captivating book. Follow Slow Burn Books on Instagram @slowburn.booksyyc.
