Start Your Book At Last: Nonfiction and Memoir – A three-hour, hands-on workshop for aspiring writers who are ready to turn their idea into a clear book concept. Led by certified book coach Dinah Laprairie, this session walks participants through the essential questions that shape a strong book from the very beginning, whether it’s a memoir, self-help, business book or how-to. Using Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint method, writers will clarify their purpose, define what their book is really about, and identify the strengths they bring to the project. By the end of the workshop, each participant will have a completed Mini Blueprint that provides structure, direction, and momentum. Ideal for those who have always wanted to write a book and those who need to find direction in their current manuscript.
When: Saturday, November 7, 2026
