Accomplish Your Writing and Publishing Dreams with Tolulope Popoola

Get Started

Are you ready to conquer your obstacles and accomplish your writing goals?

Aspiring to Actual Author is a coaching programme for non-fiction writers. In as little as 8 weeks, I’ll help you with the clarity and support you need to write your book, so that you can boost your credibility, elevate your status, and attract new opportunities.

Welcome. You know you want to write a book. You have many interesting ideas to share with the world. You’re always full of imaginative stories in your head, and you long to put them down on paper.  You have a message to share, and putting it down in a book will help you spread it. It’s always been your desire and dream to become a published author.

You know that writing a book will boost your credibility and your income. It can open more doors for you, such as new clients, speaking opportunities, or even a new career path.

Lately, you’ve been thinking about it. Maybe you’ve even written down a few thoughts and ideas. But – you’re not sure how to proceed. You’re feeling overwhelmed with the process. You’re wondering if you can write something that other people will want to read. You’re struggling with self-doubts and the fear of failure. You’re not sure if you can write a short article, much less a whole book. You’re very busy and you can’t seem to find the time. Sometimes, writing feels so daunting, that you bury the thoughts and procrastinate on achieving your dream.

If this sounds like you, don’t worry you’re not alone! Many aspiring authors feel this way too. A lot of people want to write a book and share their knowledge, but they feel like they don’t have the right support, the right information and the right accountability to move them forwar

  • you can beat procrastination and the temptation to avoid writing because it’s hard?
  • you can overcome self-doubt and fear of criticism?

Does that sound interesting to you?

That’s why I’m here. With this Aspiring to Actual Author programme, I can help you get clarity on your writing goals, give you the right support, feedback and encouragement, so that you can finish writing your book, publish it and share it with your

Who am I?

My name is Tolulope Popoola and I’m your “get unstuck” Writing Coach and Publishing Consultant at Accomplish Press. I help aspiring authors to overcome their obstacles, clear their doubts and reconnect with their creative side, so that they can finally write and publish the book within them! I also help with structuring and publishing manuscripts after they’re done.

I’ve been writing since I can remember, from when I was a little girl, about six years old. But when I left school and went off to university, I went down the path of Accounting and Finance in my career. One day in the middle of studying for professional accounting exams, I realised I was miserable! I wasn’t making use of my creative skills and doing the things I was passionate about. In 2006, I discovered blogging and my creativity and interest in writing was rekindled! From then on, I started writing short stories and flash fiction, and learning everything I could about the writing and publishing industry. I made mistakes and learned from them, until finally, in 2008 I quit my job as an accountant to become a full-time writer.

In 2009, I wrote my first novel (which was never published). In 2011, I finished working on my second novel titled Nothing Comes Close. I tried to get it published traditionally, but I faced rejection from mainstream publishers. Not because my work was bad, but because they thought it was “ethnic fiction” and therefore wasn’t commercially viable. So I decided to do things my own way, and I founded Accomplish Press. I published my novel successfully, and it got good reviews so I’m sure I did something right. In addition, I’ve written and published three collections of flash fiction stories; Memoirs of a Lagos Wedding Planner, Fertile Imagination and Looking For Something. My writing has opened many doors for me that I never imagined, including my stories being turned into short films, speaking engagements, judging writing competitions, invited to feature in magazines and podcasts, and so much more. I’m now on a mission to help other writers like you to write and publish their own books and make their dreams come true too.

I know what it’s like to struggle with writing ideas and not know how to put them together. I used to lie awake at night, wishing I had a magic wand that would just magically transfer the stories in my head onto paper and publish them!

But I didn’t stay there and continue to dream. I decided that I had to take action to achieve my dreams. It wasn’t easy, I made mistakes, but I started to learn. And with the right support, you can accomplish your writing goals too.

If you don’t take action now, where would you be in a year’s time?

Still struggling? ….. Still dealing with doubts and confusion?….. Still procrastinating?….. Still feeling unfulfilled because you’re not expressing your creative talents?….. Still burying your potential?….. Still depriving the world of your unique contribution?….. Still feeling jealous of other people who write their own books and get published?….. Still vaguely wishing, “I want to write my book someday.”? ….. Still missing out on all the potential benefits of writing a book – such as the respect of family and friends, feedback from readers who absolutely connected to your story, book sales, recognition and other doors your writing will open for you, like films and speaking opportunities….

You’ll never know what could happen, unless you take action!

What my clients say:

“I signed up for 8-Week One to One coaching sessions with Tolulope Popoola. It was the right thing to motivate me to get writing in the new year. The sessions were always on time and professional with practical tips to help my writing. I recommend coaching sessions with Tolulope to any writer who needs motivation and expertise for their writing.”
~ Sabine Adeyinka, Coaching Client
“We contacted Tolulope Popoola for a book coaching service. We needed someone who understood the culture of the character being written about and also knew about the different environments the character will traverse. Tolulope is someone who knows the whole writing-to-publishing process and has a way with children. My daughter instantly took a liking to her, and this motivated my daughter to stay through each coaching session. My daughter liked the fact that Tolu could spur ideas in her and never shut down her own suggestions. I appreciated the professionalism Tolulope displayed throughout the coaching session, and always keeping us abreast with next steps. It would be my pleasure to recommend Tolulope’s services to anyone who seeks my advice. I am already considering her services for my personal writing projects.”
~ Rita O. Parent of Book Coaching Client.
“I worked with Tolulope Popoola on her Self-Publishing course to learn how to independently publish my book. Tolulope was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the course, it was a huge learning curve for me, and I’m happy that she used my book to demonstrate the publishing process, so it was learning by practice. The course was definitely worth every penny, and I will happily recommend Tolulope’s services to other aspiring authors – in fact I’ve already referred a friend.”
Amaka Azie, Publishing Client
I wanted to learn more about getting published and the path to do so. Tolulope explained it perfectly. I learned some stuff I did not realise I needed to know. The scheduling of the Consultation was well set up. I loved the ease of the scheduling process and it was on time when it happened. There are not many people that would take the time out of their schedule like she did to do what she did to help me. It is awesome that she is doing this and is willing to follow up with me when I am ready to publish, I look forward to that appointment.
William Rought – Consulting Client
I worked with Tolulope to publish my book. I was hesitant at first because I was worried about transparency and reliability with most online publishers. I did not have those problems with Tolulope. She was very professional, effective and efficient and we had a good publisher-client relationship. I’m happy to recommend her services to other aspiring authors
Chibuzo Obimdike – Publishing Client
I contacted Tolulope for a professional consultation. I was worried about harsh criticisms from a more experienced author, but that wasn’t the case. What I liked most about the session was Tolulope’s frankness, honesty and she was polite with the grooming of a truly humble individual. I recommend Tolulope to new writers out there.
