How to create your own UX writing guide

UX writing is an important part of the design process. Great writing is key for a great user experience. But how can we be sure that the writing is helping, not hurting, the user experience? This hands-on workshop will teach you how to create your own UX writing guide.

There’s a lot of writing that goes into putting a product together but we sometimes don’t stop to think about whether our writing is consistent no matter who's behind the keyboard. A UX writing guide will help iron out your writing wrinkles and get everyone on the same page.

What to expect:
In this session, you’ll learn how to create a UX writing guide of your own, the difference between voice and tone, and how to rework a piece of UX writing so that it’s clear, concise, and conversational. You’ll leave the session with a template you can use to customize your own UX writing guide, and a better understanding of the value of UX writing and why it's important to different stakeholders.

Sharpen your pencils and grab your erasers, there will be plenty of hands-on activities related to UX writing and rewriting.

Is this workshop for you?
This workshop is for designers, developers, product people, or anyone who has to write for a product or service. It’s open to anyone.

What to bring:
This is a virtual workshop on Zoom so you’ll need to install Zoom if you haven’t already. We’ll use Google Docs for the writing activities, but you may also want to have a notebook and pen handy.
