Brilliant Ways to Write Non-Boring Non-Fiction
What if you never had to wonder...
“Am I BORING my reader?”
There’s a moment in every author’s process where they start to wonder:
- "Am I boring?"
- "Will my reader even CARE?"
- "Maybe I should just… give up?"
My fellow author:
What if you never needed to struggle with getting your point across?
What if you COULD share your wisdom – without being dry, pedantic, or too preach-y or feeling like you’re giving a lecture?
The answer is what fiction authors know…
And non-fiction forgets:
The POWER of Story!
Your reader will forget your acronym, they’ll butcher your proven system, and they’ll mess up your teaching points but they’ll NEVER forget the stories you’ve told them – and how those stories made them feel.
After all, you’re not writing your book to dictate what your reader should do...
(Step A, Step B, Step C, Step Gimme a BREAK!)
You’re writing to help them, to share your message, to show your heart, and your kindness…
AND to help your reader have a powerful, long-lasting transformation in their life.
Inside
Secrets of the Storyteller:
Brilliant Ways to Write Non-Boring Non-Fiction
you’ll learn how to write stories that will have your readers learn your process, system, or method, AND remember it!
Your reader will know that you care, feel your love for them, and love you back!
No acronym can do that...
But STORIES can!
Does this sound familiar?
- You want to write a book that people will talk about – and share...
- You want to get great reviews on Amazon – but you’re worried your writing is too dry, factual, or… dare I say it… boring...
- You know your process, system, or method can change lives – but you’ve got a sinking suspicion your current clients aren’t using it to its full potential...
- You want someone to fall so in love with you that they join your mailing list, follow you on social media, and become your client...
What if All that is possible?
You CAN have a book that gets rave reviews, turns readers into clients, shares your message, AND helps people.
In order to do that though… people have to keep turning pages.
To do that, the book can’t be dry, boring, or feel like they are being lectured to!
And there IS a key to having your book do everything you want it to do – through storytelling.
Why do people love fiction?
Because it’s fun! It’s engaging. And it shares part of the human experience.
THAT is the key to writing a non-boring non-fiction book.
Storytelling techniques that all fiction authors know – but non-fiction authors ignore.
Now I'm sharing ALL the best fiction-writing secrets in
Secrets of the Storyteller:
Brilliant Ways to Write Non-Boring Non-Fiction.
Let Me illustrate...
Now about acronyms…
Those are GREAT when you’re cramming for a test. But in the real world, that isn’t how a human heart remembers.
An author came to me writing a book about how to help a loved one die. Heavy subject. And yes, she had an acronym of the five or six steps that you should take.
I was her writing coach and I can’t remember them! (Or even what her acronym WAS!)
What I DO remember was her whispering to her aunt… “What can I do so you can pass peacefully?” And the aunt’s eyes flying open and she demanded:
“Burn my journals. Don’t read any of them!”
~ cue dramatic music ~
Because I asked the author…
"DID YOU? Or did you read them first?"
The takeaway action item from her book is to offer to the dying loved one a way to close an open loop and let them know that 'The Thing' that is worrying them is handled. And it had a letter in the acronym to back it up.
But what we REMEMBER is...
Did you burn them without reading?!
(And wondering if we’d have had the strength to flick the match without reading all the secrets first!)
More than that…
I also know that when I’m faced with a dying loved one, I’ll remember to offer to close that loop and burn the journals.

“I used to tell people the story of Jerry's liver transplant. How we got The Call in the middle of our move, how his liver attacked him and he almost died, and how I cared for him over his cancer journey which has spanned over a decade. People were enthralled. I realized there weren't a lot of caregiving stories out there and I decided I was going to write mine.
I wrote the book twice and while the order of the words varied slightly, it read like this:
'Then we did this.... Then we went there... Then he said this.... Then I did that....'
Which led to:
'You should do this... You should do that... You should say this... You will want that... '
After learning storytelling with Kim, I figured out how to share my message in a way that a reader can understand -- that makes them laugh and cry, without sounding like a grocery list!”
Hi, I’m Kim!
I’m Kim Galloway, an Amazon best-selling author (many times over), author of over 20 books, and I have a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. I’ve helped hundreds of authors to FINALLY write their books – you’re next.
Now, one of my titles is “Story Pathfinder” because I help YOU uncover the stories that you’re meant to tell in your book. I believe deeply that story is the key to learning.
Let me share…
When I was in high school, my parents decided that they didn’t like my attitude. I was, frankly, turning into a jerk. So they confiscated ALL my recreational reading books and gave me… “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie.
For a girl who was reading 4 or 5 novels a WEEK, having all that reading time taken away so I could read an OLD book was… infuriating. I yelled, they yelled, words were said, and at the end of the fight…
I had to read that book – or never get MY books back again.
Now you’ve got to understand, I LOVE to read. Give me a page with words on it and I just can’t help myself.
But give me an ASSIGNMENT? I’ll dig my heels in every time. I didn’t WANT to read that book. But I HAD to.
Yet, somewhere along the line, I found myself turning pages. Actually *gasp* ENJOYING “How to Win Friends”. And then… trying out my learning on my friends at school.
Why?
Because Carnegie was a master storyteller.
He didn’t just say “Use people’s names, they react better when you call them by name”
He TOLD a story of one of his students doing just that.
And to this DAY 20+ years later, I make it a point to get people’s names, how they pronounce it, and then USE their name. And when I forget their name – because I’m a mom to two small humans and totally have names go in one ear and out the other – I ask them their name again.
No embarrassment or shame on my part, because that story in “How to Win Friends and Influence People” has stuck with me for over two decades.
What if a story you share in YOUR book sticks with YOUR reader for life?
I can assure you, your acronym won’t. They won’t remember when to use the DANCE system or the HEART process or the HEALTH method. They probably won’t even remember what those letters STAND for.
But they will remember the stories you told them.
Storytelling is how that happens.
Stories tie into emotion. And emotion ties into memory.
Learn HOW to tell stories in Secrets of the Storyteller: Brilliant Ways to Write Non-Boring Non-Fiction.
What You Learn:
The Psychology of Story
Have you ever heard the chestnut ‘Facts Tell, Stories Sell”? It means that you can give your reader all the steps, processes, and yes, acronyms you want but all they do is TELL them information.
A story will SELL them into belief – and remembering.
How NOT to Be Boring
There’s a huge difference between telling a story and using a summary of events. Dig into just what IS the difference – and when you should use each.
Craft memorable stories that your reader will remember!
Create an Emotion-Invoking Story
Stories do more than entertain: they make your reader feel. Moving your reader out of their head and into their heart is the way to have teaching STICK. (It's also how to stop being so dry and share your message in a way your reader can absorb.)
Create an emotion in your reader so they can remember - and take action!
Truth vs Accuracy
Every good storyteller knows that sometimes it’s not about what the story is but how you tell it. It’s not about the “facts” but about how the pacing and flow of a story impact the reader (or listener)!
Your book allows your reader inside the truth of being human.

still have a few questions?
Q. I’ve never written stories before. Is this the right starting point for me?
A. This is the PERFECT starting point!
I don’t assume that you’ve had ANY training as a storyteller – that’s why I’m bringing you ALL my secrets. The skills you’ll learn will translate from fiction (fun to read!) and make your non-fiction sparkle. No more being boring – for you or the reader.
Q. Does this course cover things like outlining? Or how to stay on track?
A. Great question. The short answer is no, it doesn’t.
If you’re looking for a more comprehensive writing option, you’ll want to check out Finally Write Your Book. In fact, “Secrets of the Storyteller” is pulled from that course – so you don’t need both!
Q. How long does it take to go through the course?
A. You get instant access to the 25+ videos - and it'll take you about 3-4 hours to go through them.
And then you’ll have lifetime access PLUS any updates. You can do this as quickly or as slowly as you want. And since you have an invitation to my Student's Only group, you can also get feedback as you go along.
Q. What if I don’t learn anything new?
A. I’m not going to punish you for being awesome!
If you feel like you don’t learn anything new, send me an email within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.
Please note this refund policy does not cover a change of mind.
If you request a refund, I will ask you for feedback on how the course didn't meet your expectations so I can improve our marketing messaging in future.
Please see the full Terms and Conditions of Use for more info.
Q. I write fiction. Is this a good course for me?
A. Storytelling IS universal, but this course is targeted toward shorter vignette-style stories that are used to illustrate a teaching point, process, or method...
So, while you will definitely learn valuable storytelling skills, this course doesn’t over any fiction-only techniques like plot arcs or character development.
“Kim Galloway is absolutely hands down the best at what she does!
She empowers me to tap my creative fire and write from my heart! I’m so excited to have written and published my first book with her guidance!
She shared her expertise with my group coaching clients and blew us all away with her knowledge, advanced tips, and “real” delivery!”
