Accomplish Your Writing and Publishing Dreams with Tolulope Popoola
Hello writer,
You know you want to write.
Maybe you have an idea for a novel tucked away in your mind. Maybe you have scenes, characters, fragments of dialogue, or the strong feeling that there is a story in you that deserves a real chance.
But every time you try to begin, you feel stuck.
This course is here to change that.
The Creative Writing Course for Beginners is designed to help you move from confusion to clarity, from hesitation to momentum, and from “I’ve always wanted to write” to “I am writing now.”
Enrol now and start writing with confidence.
This course was created for you if:
you have always wanted to write fiction, but do not know how to begin
you have lots of ideas, but struggle to choose one and develop it properly
you feel intimidated by plot, structure, character development, or point of view
you have started writing before but lost confidence or direction
you want a clear, practical roadmap that makes writing feel possible
you need flexible learning that fits around real life
You do not need to be an expert. You do not need to be “naturally gifted.” You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need a willingness to begin.

By the end of this course, you will not just understand creative writing better. You will feel more equipped, more confident, and more capable of turning your imagination into real stories on the page.

create believable, engaging characters
decide on the best point of view for your story
build a strong setting in time and place
shape a compelling plot with tension and momentum
understand genre, theme, conflict, dialogue, and description
outline your story and start writing your novel with purpose
You will also have practical materials you can return to again and again: audio lessons, lecture notes, workbooks, questions, and exercises.
I’m ready to start writing
There are plenty of writing tips online. What most beginners really need, though, is structure. This course gives you a clear path so you do not waste time jumping from one random piece of advice to another.
Learn from Tolulope Popoola and her team, who are passionate about helping you craft strong stories in your own unique style.
From idea selection and character creation to plot, conflict, themes, and editing, the course takes you through the foundations step by step.
You can work through the course at your own pace and fit it around your life, work, family, and other commitments.
You also get access to a community of fellow aspiring writers in a private WhatsApp group, where you can share, learn, and grow alongside others.
The content of the Creative Writing Course has been packaged into audio lessons, lecture notes, and workbooks that you can access anytime. You can study from the comfort of your own home and return to the materials whenever you need a refresher.
This means you can learn in a way that works for your life, not against it.
Whether you are balancing work, parenting, business, studies, or all of the above, this course is designed to help you keep moving without pressure or overwhelm.

My name is Tolulope Popoola and I’m the tutor for this Creative Writing Course. I’m an award winning Author, Writing Coach and Publisher, and the founder of Accomplish Press and The Creative Writing Academy. I teach Creative Writing classes for both adults and children, and I run coaching, consulting and publishing programmes for aspiring authors. I have published a novel, and three collections of flash fiction stories, and written extensively for many magazines and publications. I used to be an accountant until I quit my job in 2008, now I have successfully switched careers from Accounting to Writing and Publishing, and if you want to learn how, I can teach you to do the same!
I have received many awards, including a special Award of Excellence at the 2016 Nigerian Writers’ Awards, and was shortlisted for Diaspora Writer of the Year for the 2017 awards. I was second runner up at the Women In Publishing (UK) Awards 2012, for the New Venture Award for pioneering work on behalf of under-represented groups in society. I was recently named as one of the “most influential Nigerian writers under 40”. My first novel Nothing Comes Close was named “one of the best books of 2012” by Africa Book Club. And I have also earned the nickname of “Africa’s flash fiction queen” for my unique flash fiction stories. My work was recently noticed by Lancome, the international luxury cosmetics company and I was featured alongside other amazing women for their “My Shade, My Power” campaign.
Yes. This course was created especially for beginners. You do not need previous writing experience, a finished manuscript, or any formal training. If you have the desire to write and are willing to learn, this course will meet you where you are.
No. The course is especially helpful for people interested in fiction and novels, but it is also useful for anyone writing short stories, flash fiction, blogs, articles, or creative ideas they want to develop further.
That is completely normal, and the course will help with that. One of the early lessons teaches you how to choose and refine a strong idea so you do not waste time working on something that is not yet ready.
The course is designed for flexible learning. We recommend spending around two to three hours a week, which means many students can complete it in about twelve weeks or less. You can move faster or slower depending on your schedule.
The course includes audio lessons, lecture notes, and workbooks that you can access online at any time. That means you can learn from anywhere in the world, at a pace that suits you.
A: Once you register and pay the fee, you will be granted access to the course immediately.
Yes. The course includes questions, exercises, and workbook materials to help you apply what you are learning as you go.
This course was designed with busy adults in mind. Because it is self-paced, you can fit it around your work, family, and other responsibilities. Even small, steady progress can make a big difference.
A: Yes you can.
A: No, the course fees are not refundable.
A natural next step is The Self-Publishing Course, once you complete your manuscript and want guidance on publishing it professionally.
Yes. I also offer an intensive, fast-track version that can be taken in one weekend, held once a year either in person or online.
You do not need to wait until you feel perfectly ready. Most writers do not. You just need to begin.
If you have been looking for a sign to stop overthinking and start writing, this is it.
