Consulting Services for Writers

Consulting Services

Maybe you’ve written your manuscript and you’re wondering:

“Is this ready?”
“Should I self-publish or try traditional publishing?”
“What do I do next?”
“Am I missing something important?”

Or maybe you’re at the very beginning and unsure which path to take.

Sometimes you don’t need long-term coaching, you just need clarity and answers to a specific question. This is where consulting comes in. A consulting session with me gives you:

• An objective, experienced perspective
• Honest feedback
• Strategic direction
• Practical next steps

You can book sessions with me, Tolulope Popoola, to discuss your needs. Consultations can be done by telephone, WhatsApp, Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Why work with me?

I’ve worked on both sides of the process: as a writer navigating self-doubt, writer’s block, procrastination and all the other obstacles, rejection and publishing realities, and as a publisher launching my own books, and guiding other authors from draft to distribution.

I understand both the emotional and strategic sides of publishing. That means I won’t just tell you what sounds good, but I’ll tell you what makes sense for your goals

Who is this for?

This is ideal for you if:

You’ve completed your manuscript and want a professional opinion

You want to understand the publishing landscape
You need guidance on editing, packaging, or positioning

Testimonials

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.- Ukah Chukwude
