Event information | Registration

IMPORTANT: Scheduled time is Israel time/EEST (GMT+2). For CEST (14:00-16:00)

As a technical writer, you can create effective UX copy, but it requires tweaking your mindset and gaining some essential skills. We’ll look at core principles, roles, and best practices of UX writing, and compare it to technical writing. Plus, we’ll explore the unique challenges that tech (and UX!) writers face and consider practical strategies to overcome them.

Takeaways

● Mindset shift: From tech docs to user-centered, empathetic UX writing

● Core principles: Embrace clarity, conciseness, consistency, and empathy

● Roles & responsibilities: Collaborating across teams and enhancing the user experience

● Differences from tech writing: Style, focus, and purpose

● Challenges and strategies: Examples with suggestions for overcoming them

About Hadas: 
I’m a senior UX writer with experience at HoneyBook (B2B business management platform), Fiverr (B2C online marketplace), AppsFlyer (B2B attribution analytics), NSO (B2G cyber software provider), and Freescale Semiconductor (B2C semiconductor design). Like many (most!) UX writers, I transitioned into UX by way of technical and knowledge-base writing. This path has taken me from writing precise, clear technical info for professional audiences to crafting user-centered content for web and app users. I’m passionate about creating clear, accessible content that enhances user satisfaction and reduces support needs.
