Coaching for Writers and Aspiring Authors
You don’t need more advice. You need personalised guidance.
There’s a difference: advice is general coaching is personal.
-
Maybe you’ve been carrying your book idea for years.
-
Maybe you’ve started and stopped more times than you’d like to admit.
-
Maybe you’re overwhelmed, unsure, second-guessing yourself.
You don’t need another YouTube video. You need someone to sit with you, challenge you, guide you, and help you move forward. That’s what coaching is for.
Who coaching is for
This is for you if:
-
You have an idea but don’t know how to structure it
-
You’re halfway through your manuscript and feel stuck
-
You struggle with self-doubt and creative blocks
-
You’ve finished your draft but aren’t sure what to do next
-
You want professional, honest, constructive feedback
-
You’re serious about becoming a published author
What happens when you work with me
This isn’t just about writing technique. It’s about transformation.
When we work together, you:
- Gain clarity about your idea
- Build structure around your story
- Develop confidence in your voice
- Learn how to edit and refine your work
- Understand the publishing path that suits your goals
You move from “I hope I can do this” to “I’m doing this.”
The coaching experience
As your coach, I bring two perspectives:
The Writer – I understand the emotional vulnerability of writing. I know what it feels like to doubt your work, to fear rejection, to wonder if your story matters.
The Publisher – I also understand the business side of publishing – positioning, packaging, audience, market realities. I help you see your work objectively and prepare it professionally.
That balance means you’re supported creatively and strategically. We work together to strengthen your craft, and we prepare your book for the real world.
Meet your Coach

I’m Tolulope Popoola, your “Get Unstuck” Book Writing Coach and Publishing Consultant.
I’ve been exactly where you are:
-
full of ideas but unsure how to begin
-
facing the blank page with fear instead of excitement
-
wondering if my stories were “good enough”
-
overwhelmed by draft revisions and self-doubt
And I learned that what writers truly need isn’t just information, it’s support, clarity, and real accountability.
That’s why I’m here to help you move forward, not just think about moving forward.
Each pathway below is designed for different stages of your writing and publishing journey but they all have one thing in common: personalised support and clear momentum toward your writing goals.

More about Tolulope Popoola
I didn’t always believe writing could be a career. I grew up loving books and writing stories, but like many creatives, I learned early on that imagination isn’t always encouraged. So I took a more “practical” path – studying finance, working as an accountant, and doing what seemed sensible. But something was missing.
When I rediscovered writing as an adult, I realised it wasn’t just a creative outlet, it was my calling. That journey led me to become an author, start my own publishing company, and eventually coach writers of all ages through the writing and publishing process.
Today, through Accomplish Press, I:
- Support aspiring authors to write and publish meaningful books
- Coach writers through creative blocks and self-doubt
- Run creative writing programmes for children and teenagers
- Advocate for stories that are often overlooked
I believe storytelling is more than creativity. It’s legacy, healing, and empowerment.
If you’re an aspiring author, a parent nurturing a young writer, or an organisation interested in creative education and storytelling, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s tell the stories that matter.
What my previous students and clients say:
“I signed up for 8-Week One to One coaching sessions with Tolulope Popoola towards the end of the year. 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

“I enrolled for Tolulope Popoola’s Creative Writing Course in November. My goal was to learn how to finish writing my novel so that I can publish it. I enjoyed the course, especially because even though it was a group class, Tolulope still gave each participant one-to-one attention. I learnt how to organise my writing better. Tolu is very knowledgeable about the creative writing process. If you do not know where and how to start your writing. I recommend you pass to through her program. ~ Amaka Ugbomah, Creative Writing Course Student

“I took part in the Creative Writing Course run by Tolulope Popoola. My goal was to reawaken my creative side, and that was definitely achieved. Tolulope was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I liked the fact that she gave each participant one-to-one and hands-on attention. I will happily recommend the course to other writers too. ~ Ngozi Ojo, Creative Writing Course Student

“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
