What’s the difference between voice and tone? Should I use an Oxford comma? How should I represent dates consistently? 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.
Sharpen your pencils and grab your erasers, there will be plenty of hands-on activities related to UX writing and rewriting.
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 why UX writing is important to different stakeholders.
This workshop is for designers, developers, product people, or anyone who has to write for a product or service. It’s open to anyone.
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.
This event happened online Sept. 24, 2020, but read our recap, which has links to the activities and more: "How a UX writing guide contributes to better design."
