Intrigue

“Wrong number,” said a familiar voice. 

With that six-word story, you just experienced the curiosity gap. It's the space

between what we know and what we want to know. 

Your brain releases a little ding of dopamine, which is the same chemical that

drives anticipation and reward. 

When you create a curiosity gap in your business writing, you give your readers

just enough to make them want to find out more. 

In our Intrigue course, you’ll learn to:

  • build interest through subtext — what’s left unsaid

  • add jeopardy to ideas and stories

  • start sentences with energy and movement 

  • push your ideas past the obvious

  • wake up your reader by adding a twist when they least expect it. 
     

And when you do those things, you:

  • grab attention instantly: your openings make people stop, not scroll

  • hold focus longer: curiosity keeps readers engaged until the end

  • make messages stick: curiosity boosts memory and recall

  • sound original: your writing feels fresh, human, and full of life

  • inspire action: because curiosity isn’t passive — it propels people forward.

Mrs Dingle sure had a lot to say
