The world desperately needs more UX writers

Even though generative AI is replacing a lot of poor-quality writing tasks, the quality of output still doesn’t match that of the critical thinking and strategy of a professional UX writer. .

And with the explosion of apps, programs, and companies being built on top of generative AI, the world needs more UX writers, more than ever.

So if you’re a content writer, content marketer, or copywriter – or maybe not even a writer at all – there has never been a better time to make the change and leap into UX writing.

What you get when you sign up for the UX Writing Academy

Get skills

Since 2018, the UX Writing Academy has helped 1,000+ promising students go from having zero experience to becoming professional UX writers within 6 months.

From understanding UX design principles and user journeys to conducting user research, Psychology, content style guides, and content testing and optimization, this course covers everything a professional UX writer needs to know in 2023 – and beyond.

 
From copywriter to UX Writer in less than a year

“I enrolled in the course to get help to transition from Copywriting to UX Writing. I had plenty of experience in the digital field, but a lack of knowledge about UX Writing processes. So this hands-on methodology worked great with me.”

Lucía Alcayde, Content Designer at Roche

This UX Writing Academy Program is a career game changer

“The UXWA didn’t just train me in UX writing, it also helped me gain the confidence I needed to apply for jobs in UX with major companies. I love my job, but I would never have applied if it wasn’t for the Academy!”

Sophie Strosberg , UX Writer at Allstate

Get confidence

Most UX courses teach you theory through self-paced, recorded sessions only. No live calls. No support group, guide, feedback, or mentor. And no opportunities to create actoul portfolio of samples.

At UX Writing Academy, we know that theory is only one part of your training. That’s why you’ll get regular quizzes and assignments (plus feedback) to help cement your learning, 1-on-1 support from your dedicated mentor, and samples from a real-world project that you can show prospective employers or clients.

 

Get hired

The majority of our students over the last 5 years were hired as in-house UX writers or landed freelance projects, either during the course – or by the end of it.

And while we can’t guarantee you’ll walk away with a paying job at the end of the course, we’ll do everything in our power to help you: from curating your portfolio samples to giving you certification, providing a letter of recommendation, and private coaching sessions with your dedicated mentor.

 
It lived up to all my expectations and helped me fall in love with this industry

“I’m so grateful for the UX Writing Hub. This certification attracted me because of the reasonable price, direct mentorship, writing-specific course content, and solid reputation. It lived up to all my expectations and helped me fall in love with this industry. 

Six months after completing the certification, I landed an awesome full-time job at SimplePractice as a content designer. Thank you for your guidance and support not only during the course, but after through my job search. A must for aspiring product writers!”

Alyssa Wenger Senior Content Designer at SimplePractice
