What my clients say:
“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 in October. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long would it take to complete the course?
A: Our online course is designed for flexible learning. You can allocate your own study time and take part from wherever you are in the world. We recommend spending around two to three hours a week on the course. That way, you can complete the material in four weeks or less.
Q: What if I’m not tech-savvy?
A: You don’t need to be. This course is designed for writers not IT professionals. I walk you through every platform step-by-step, showing you exactly where to click, what to upload, and what to ignore. And if something feels confusing, you can ask for clarification during the live sessions.
Q: How do I enrol in the course?
A: Please schedule a call with Tolulope to discuss your manuscript. Once you have paid, you will be granted access to the course materials immediately.
Q: What if I’ve tried self-publishing before and it didn’t go well?
A: You’re exactly who this course is for. Many writers come to this course after making costly mistakes, getting scammed by unscrupulous “publishers” or realising they skipped important foundational steps. I will show you how to set things up properly, so that you are knowledgeable and equipped to do it yourself without any other middleman going forward.
Q: What if my manuscript isn’t fully edited yet?
A: That’s okay. This course will show you how to publish professionally, and that includes understanding what level of editing your book needs before it goes live. It’s better to pause and publish well than rush and regret it later.
Q: Do I need a large audience to succeed?
A: No, you do not need thousands of followers to publish successfully. What you need is a clear target reader, proper positioning, a strong blurb and cover and a simple, focused launch plan. Audience growth is something you can build over time. Publishing the right way comes first. Many authors start with a very small network and grow from there strategically.
Q: Can I pay the fee in instalments?
A: Yes you can.
Q: Can I get a refund after taking the course?
A: No, the course fees are not refundable.
Q: What are the next steps after taking this course?
