Ask me anything (about UX writing voices to follow): ❓ Have questions? I'll answer them! If you want to know more about #UXWriting#ContentDesign#ContentStrategy, career transitions, or anything else, send me your questions. I'll respond in a post like this. You can leave questions as comments below, or you can message me. I hope this project helps anyone who's curious about the field. If you want to know more about something, there's a good chance other people have similar thoughts. Hope to hear from you! 😄 *** Q: I loved what you said a while back about finding voices in the community. With that in mind, I was wondering if you could possibly tell me about UX writers in the community I should be following? I'd love to get even more involved with this wonderful UX writing space 😄 A: Love this question. Discovering and following voices in the UX writing community is a big part of how we can grow within this space. Feel free to contribute your thoughts as well! In addition to the names listed below, I'd suggest following relevant hashtags on LinkedIn and connecting with people who use them often. There's also the Microcopy & UX Writing Facebook group. The Content + UX Slack group is another great place to be. I've included links to both in the comments. Here are a few people and organizations I enjoy. By no means is this a complete list of everyone who's sharing great things.
