Exactly 50 weeks ago, we
launched the first edition of our weekly newsletter.
Since then, we’ve consistently sent an email every week (though some of you didn’t get #40 due to a technical issue). There's been a LOT going on this past last year for the UX Writing Hub.
I didn’t have any experience with interviewing, recording, or soundengineering, but I decided, as always, to just figure it out as I go.
So, apologies for the
MASSIVE clickbait headline up there!
But, I seriously wanted to thank everyone who has listened from around the world.
It’s been a crazy journey and we couldn't have done it without you.
Writers in Tech season 1 has now ended.
But, our second season episodes have already been partially recorded and will be coming soon!
So get
ready to hear from senior writers from companies such as Amazon, Typeform, Salesforce, Webflow, Waze (Google), and more. Plus, Erika Hall, the author of Conversation Design and Just Enough
Research, and Amir Shevat, the author of Designing Bots.
It's going to be an awesome season!
The production of the podcast is completely funded by UX Writing Hub. To justify the cost of creating each episode, we need to expand our exposure.
So here comes the part where I ask for a favor.
PLEASE, if you enjoy and find value in our podcast, share it with the world!
With your help, we’ll be able to finish season two and continue with many seasons to come.
And, I’m still hoping to interview Elon Musk for episode #100, so we need to step up our game 😉

A few weeks ago, I got to chat with Alysa Yamada, a UX writer based in Prague.
We shared some thoughts about where the industry is going and what kinds of opportunities we would want to create in it.
Finding great UX writers these days for your projects can be difficult. But finding UX writers with
experience working on innovative projects related to AI, chatbots, and blockchain is near impossible.
Alysa is one of those rare writers and her portfolio is SUPER inspiring.
Even though there was some political unrest in Barcelona, the UX writing community showed they are an apolitical movement of people that care about helping each other become better UX writers and write effective words for digital interfaces.
It was a BLAST!
Big shout out to:
— Claudia Piga from Gympas came all the way from Madrid to give us her talk and absolutely killed it.
—Patricia Gómez Jurado for showing me around, teaching me about content localization and opening my mind to those kinds of ideas.
