Bedsit Disco Queen: How I grew up and tried to be a pop star is an autobiography written by Tracey Thorn, first published in February 2013.

[1][2][3] The book received widespread critical acclaim and was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller.

[5] Writing for The Independent, Fiona Sturges stated that “Thorn is about as far removed from typical notions of a successful singer as it's possible to get.

Which makes her ideal to report on the pop star experience, and the ever-shifting landscape of the British music scene of the Eighties and Nineties".

[6] In The Times, Lucy Denyer stated that "It is a beautifully written book, dryly funny and searingly honest about growing up, whether it was discovering feminism, or being slightly out of her depth as a 15-year-old at an Anti-Nazi League rally".
