Have you ever thought about what it’s like to actually work as a UX writer or content designer? Do you want to break into this booming field but aren’t sure where to start?

Maybe you’re worried about that old Catch-22: you want to gain experience so you can land a UX writing job, but you can’t get a job without experience.

If this sounds familiar, we’ve got a solution for you: our new Fundamentals of UX Writing Workshop.

In this online workshop, you’ll work on real assignments, just as if you were working as a UX writer in a real company. You’ll work in groups, and, together with your teammates, you’ll rewrite and design a digital product.

Join Yuval Keshtcher, the founder of the UX Writing Hub, who’s instructed hundreds of writers who now work at companies like Google, Facebook, Care, GymPas, and more.

The workshop includes:

  • Working in small writing teams on UX writing exercises
  • Guidance from an industry expert
  • Four fun and challenging exercises that you can add to your UX writing portfolio
  • Meeting and connecting with peers from around the globe

The tools we’ll use:
