How do we gauge whether our content is hitting the mark? We analyze it, of course!

We’ve shared some heavy discussions lately about this: on separating the writing from the strategy, the different backgrounds that led us to this work, ethical, accessible and inclusive practices, and fighting for our place on design and product teams.

This week we’ve got an in-depth look at the past, present, and future of our industry from Kristina Halvorson, how to survive being the sole UX writer with Mario Ferrier, and of course, some quality content from emerging UX writers too! 

This week’s Dash should help you find out what it takes to be an exceptional UX writer. We’ve got articles from around the globe about how to do ‘good’ UX writing, what it means to be a UX writer on a CX team, respecting your users, and staying empathetic in your online communications. 

In this week’s Dash you’ll find: Shopify changing their content strategy to content design, a UX writing glossary, completing a UX challenge and more!

Yes, you do need to know your stuff when it comes to UX writing. Us UX writers can spot a fraud a mile off!

We’re once again finding ourselves saying “wow, these certainly are uncertain times”… but one thing we can control is the good work we do.
