You’re good with words and love using language to solve problems, but breaking into UX writing still feels impossible, or at least far-fetched. Maybe you’ve sent out resumes with no response or are stuck at the “dream” stage. I’ve been there.I started as a journalist and worked across fundraising, marketing, and e-commerce. Then, by reframing my transferable skills, upskilling where needed, and polishing my presentation, I stood out and landed a contract at Etsy, Inc. The rest is history.I've created a repeatable process for breaking into UX writing, and things can shift fast once you learn it too. (Read the student story in the next section.)During this six-week course, you'll be: • Shifting your mindset and confidently highlighting your transferable skills • Learning tools, terminology, and cross-functional partner knowledge you need • Developing UX writing skills grounded in best practices and industry standards • Building a portfolio, resume, LinkedIn, and interview strategy that stands out All with 1:1 support and lifetime access to content! Keep the weekly cadence and attend optional office hours or take it at your own pace based on your schedule.

Break into UX writing with a repeatable process I've seen work again and again.

Everything changes when you know the process, just ask my students
