In the center of the image, we see a laptop. On its screen, a writer is scribbling in a notebook in front of their computer, a coffee cup beside them. The text reads: "Free download for nonfiction writers. Coaching Exercise. Reveal your book's transformation. Take the first step to: Define your book's journey, Decide on your approach, Curate your content, See your expertise on the page." At the very bottom, in small text, we read: "The Summer Spark Writing Plan is open now. Apply for a coaching spot."

Today, I have a freebie for new nonfiction writers: From Here to There, a PDF worksheet to define your book's transformation.

Try it, and if you like it, get in touch -- or book one of my summer coaching spots.

The #StoryGrid Commandments give writers an excellent toolkit for tightening scenes. It may not work for every author, and there are other scene models out there to check out. But I recommend looking at Story Grid – it contains lots of great ideas for writers. #writingadvice #writing #bookcoaching

Conversation with an aspiring writer about her book project:

ME: Who are you writing this book for?
HER: No one. I don't care who the reader is...

In this illustration, a “laptop lawn chair” is standing in the grass. The text reads: “Lawn Chair Coaching: Summer Writing Tips. www.dinahlaprairie.com.” The tip: “Outline without Overwhelm: Think of your outline as a trail map, not a contract. It guides your direction but leaves room for discovery along the way.”

Your book outline gives you direction. Think of it as a trail map and go explore.

This summer, I’m book coaching from my lawn chair. Each Wednesday, I share a new writing tip.

In this illustration, the hot sun of summer is beating down on these words: "Open the Window. Let the breeze in." Below: "What still wants to be written?" At the bottom of the image is an illustration of a book, lying open, with cheery summer flowers growing out of its pages. This post introduces the summer offer from nonfiction and memoir book coach Dinah Laprairie. If you have a book idea that needs attention, follow Dinah here for more details. Or, visit bit.ly/summer-spark-plan

In summer, the pace shifts.

There’s more joy in the air, and more space to think, reflect, and reconnect.

Tuesday, I’m announcing my summer coaching program for writers who want to use this brief season to dig in and write. 7 dates only.

#WritingCommunity #BookCoaching #Nonfiction #Memoir

In this graphic, we see the cover of the book "On Tyranny", the graphic edition by Timothy Snyder and illustrator Nora Krug. Beside the book cover, we see a small illustrated bird pointing its beak towards the text and we read "Readability Review No. 9. Engaging with books, from first glance to final page." We also read: "The Book Case: Books for Readers. www.dinahlaprairie.com" This image promotes a new book review by Dinah Laprairie, book coach and editor, in her newsletter The Book Case.

A new Readability Review is up. This time I review On Tyranny (Graphic Edition).

The interaction of Krug's art + Snyder's text challenged me to think + rethink—and reminded me why I coach writers to write asking "Why now?"

In this graphic, we see a “laptop lawnchair” in the bottom corner, sitting on the grass. The yellows and greens suggest summer, and indeed it is. The text at the top says Lawn Chair Coaching: Summertime writing tips. Credit goes to www.dinahlaprairie.com In the centre, we read the tip: “A great book starts with one question: What does my reader need to understand first?” Start there, and you message will land where it matters. This tip was brought to you by Dinah Laprairie, Book Coach and Editor. Get in touch if you want to ask about book coaching.

Reader-centered writing starts with a shift in perspective. What does your ideal reader want as they enter your book, and what do they need at that moment? Begin there.

I Feel So Exposed: Writing Through the Fear That Stops You Visibility feels vulnerable. But naming that fear might be the very thing that helps you keep writing.

The fear of being seen is real—and it’s common. But it doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It means your story, your message, your characters… they matter to you.

In this graphic illustration, a woman peers out from behind a book. Does she love this book or is she apprehensive? It's hard to tell! The text reads: "First impressions: What does your reader see?" Below, it says, "Book your Outside Eyes Review. Dinah Laprairie, Book Coaching, Editing, Writing, www.dinahlaprairie.com"

Are you in revisions? Here are 3 questions to ask yourself about your opening pages:

• Does my first page make readers curious?
• Am I leading with a strong idea or moment?
• Have I given my reader a reason to keep going?
• How do these words affect my reader?
