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.
