Mini Blueprint 
Strategy Session

for writers of nonfiction and memoir

with Author Accelerator-certified book coach Dinah Laprairie


A book-planning experience for everyday experts writing with heart, clarity, and purpose


You’ve lived it. You’ve led it. You’ve learned more than a few things the hard way.


Now you’re ready to turn that wisdom into something lasting — a book that helps, heals, or transforms.


But big questions are swirling:


   Where do I start?

    What kind of book am I even writing?
    Is my idea enough?


Friend, you’re in the right place. I'm here to help you find the answers.


Here's your chance to develop your book idea into a book concept. 

Using the Mini Blueprint, a method by Author Accelerator, you'll begin writing your book with purpose and focus.

Your next steps are only one session away.


You can book it now for $399 USD.


What's included

🧭

The Mini Blueprint Tool

A one-page book-planning document that brings your ideas into focus. 

You’ll clarify your message, identify your reader, and define what your book is truly about.

I’ll deliver it to you by email with a video to walk you through it before you begin.


An Editorial Review

You’ll submit up to 3,000 words to me, and I’ll review it with a focus on structure, clarity,
and alignment with the goals you outlined in your Mini Blueprint.


A 50-Minute Zoom Strategy Session

We’ll walk through your Blueprint and my editorial feedback together.*

I’ll offer kind, practical guidance to help you make decisions, address common pitfalls, and move forward with confidence.


You’ll walk away with:

A clear book concept

No more fuzzy ideas or second-guessing. You’ll know what you’re writing, why it matters, and who it’s for.

A one-page plan you can trust

Your Mini Blueprint will serve as a north star for your writing, keeping your message focused and your structure on track.

Editorial insight you can use

Real feedback, tailored to your project, that helps you write with clarity and confidence (not perfection).

Next steps that feel doable

You’ll know exactly what to work on next—and how to keep going, even when life is busy or doubt creeps in.

What former coaching clients are saying...

I'm finding my voice

Working with Dinah was one of the most grounding and transformative parts of my book-writing journey. As someone who didn’t identify as a “writer” when I began, I can say with full confidence that Dinah helped me grow into the voice I didn’t know I had. 
— Anette

Enthusiasm for my project

“Her joyful optimism, relevant expertise, and enthusiastic brainstorming keeps me focused... 
I come away from every phone call with a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm.”
—Kim

I'm developing my craft

Dinah’s highly professional coaching brought my manuscript to the next level; she helped me grow as a writer, and more than fulfilled my expectations for clear, specific and useful feedback... Dinah is an experienced, generous and sincere book coach.

Why choose me?

Hi, I’m Dinah Laprairie, a certified nonfiction and memoir book coach who helps everyday experts write meaningful books. I come to coaching with over two decades of editorial experience. For 13 years, I led a literary magazine dedicated to marginalized voices. Today, I guide writers—especially those with lived experience—who want their words to serve others.
