DESTINATION: BOOK

A book-planning workbook for people who drive change

Finally start the book that’s been living in your head — in just 2 hours.

Your story can change lives — but only if you tell it.


You’ve been doing the work — leading change, solving problems, helping others.

You’ve seen what happens when we dedicate ourselves to purpose.

But when you’re always moving, it’s hard to pause long enough to reflect...

much less write a book about it.


Still, the idea lingers:


  • What if you could showcase the good work happening right now?
  • What if you could push back against cynicism and offer real solutions?
  • What if you could write a book that captures the story only you can tell?


You can. And DESTINATION: BOOK will guide you there — one step at a time.


Yes, you can write a book. You can get started now.


What's included


DESTINATION: BOOK is a 23-page, fillable PDF workbook supported by 7 short audio messages from a certified nonfiction book coach.

It's designed to help you plan your book’s core message in just 2 hours — no fluff, no overwhelm.

And it's only $47.*


You’ll get:


   Strategic prompts to help you clarify your core message
   Exercises to reflect on your work and identify the story behind it
   A framework to explain your unique contribution and why it matters
   Gentle coaching audio embedded in the workbook — just click and listen
   A “90 Days of Manuscript Momentum” planner to chart your next steps
   Optional email check-in for added accountability



This workbook was created for purpose-led people with stories that matter. 


who this is for


This is for you if:


  • You want to inspire change and challenge the status quo
  • You’ve seen firsthand how transformation happens — and want to share your approach
  • You want to preserve your knowledge before it’s lost
  • You’ve been immersed in your work for so long that organizing your ideas feels impossible

You don't need a book deal, a perfect outline, or years of writing experience.


You just need a starting point.


A map.


Here it is.


from your guide

“I spent years working in a purpose-driven space where our approach changed lives. But we were so busy doing the work, we rarely paused to reflect — and never long enough to write about it.


Now, as a nonfiction book coach, I help changemakers turn their lived experience into meaningful books. I created DESTINATION: BOOK so that no one else has to wait to get started. This is the tool I wish we’d had.”

ARe YOu REady?

Map your book’s message in a couple hours with DESTINATION: BOOK.

Complete the exercises directly on your laptop or print it out so that you can put pen to paper.


These foundational exercises will ask you:


  • Why is this book important?
  • What are my goals?
  • Why am I the right person to write this book?
  • Why does the world need this book right now?


Then, you will go deeper and begin to build the story.

You will describe the transformation of your approach, find examples in your own experience,

look at the environment around you to understand what has helped you, and what conflict you have faced.


I want you to remember what is exciting about your work, why you have remained committed to it.

You will have space to journal, and places to jot down key ideas.


These are the questions that will lead you to the core message of your book.

About me

I’m Dinah Laprairie, an Author Accelerator-certified nonfiction and memoir book coach, and I bring years of editorial experience, having worked with beginning writers to professionals from all walks of life. You can find my full bio here.

 

I work with everyday experts who want to write big-hearted, reader-centered books. If you want to inspire change by sharing your professional or lived experience on the page—whether it’s practical advice for specific audiences, life lessons, or big ideas that deserve a wide readership—I'm here to support you. I will help you dig into your long experience and pass on your legacy with confidence. I can help you communicate your work in a way that will change minds and inspire action. You set your goals, and I will help you reach them.


What is a certified book coach? 

Author Accelerator is a community of certified book coaches who support authors. We complete a robust training program that includes practicums and feedback from experienced coaches. In our coaching community, we share resources and experience with each other so we can support our clients with the highest professionalism. As a licensed Author Accelerator coach, I have access to tools and resources, such as the Blueprint for a Book method, to help you write your book better. 


Note: As an Author Accelerator certified book  coach, I am qualified to coach writers using Author Accelerator's  strategy, methods, and materials, but I operate independently of Author Accelerator.

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

  • Yes, you certainly can. At the end of the workbook, I dedicate a page to goal-setting for the next 90 days, and writing may be one of the goals you choose. Other authors may realize it makes sense to review their documents or conduct some preliminary research or reach out to others. Really, the path is your to choose.
  • Two hours is, of course, ambitious but totally possible. (As a coach, I like to suggest a goal that asks my client to stretch their idea of possible!)  To complete this booklet in 2 hours, I recommend  you set aside dedicated time for this work and set yourself up in an environment where you can focus. I recognize everyone is different. Some  may work better in more frequent but shorter periods (I love working with the Pomodoro method, myself, and giving total focus to one job for 25 minutes), so you do you.

o open a PDF, you will need Adobe Reader. If you don’t have it installed, it is available as a free download on the Adobe website. When you open the document, you will be able to type directly into the response boxes thanks to some nifty tools I used to set up the workbook. You can save the document and your responses to your own system. (Please save often!) Or, if you prefer pen and paper, you can print off the workbook and complete it by hand. In either case, you will need Adobe Reader. As for the bonus audio messages, you will access them by clicking an icon that appears throughout the book. When you click, you will be linked to an MP4 file housed online, so you will need internet access to hear the messages.

Certainly! I have met writers with piles of notebooks and folders in hand who have a very clear idea of their reader, their message, and how they want to present their argument for change. If that is you and you think you can move forward with your book on your own, I will cheer you on. However, you may find the exercises useful as a test of what you have already done. I designed these exercises based on knowledge translation principles and fundamentals for nonfiction writing, so I hope they will challenge you to go further in your book development plans.

  • Honestly, yes, much of this work I do with my 1:1 coaching clients. This foundational book-work is important, and I feel that it gives writers a stronger start on their book. In my coaching, we spend much more time on these foundational questions and I provide personalized feedback and coach writers through the challenges of this discovery phase (and later into the writing). But I feel strongly that all writers should have access to tools and resources at different points in their book’s development, with choice based on their budget. I would be thrilled to welcome a client who had already completed this workbook to my coaching practice, or no matter where they are in the process.
