Built by Readers, for Readers
Sunlit Plex started in a small London flat in 2015, where founder Emma Richardson kept meticulous notebooks filled with book recommendations for friends. What began as informal suggestions over coffee grew into something more meaningful.
People weren't just looking for their next read. They wanted someone to understand why a particular novel moved them, or why they couldn't get through certain genres. They wanted conversation, not just commerce.
Today, our team includes former librarians, literature graduates, and lifelong bibliophiles who share that same commitment. We've helped thousands discover their new favourite author, rekindle their love of reading, or finally tackle that classic they've been meaning to read for years.
