Debbie Levitt has a great piece up on CMS Wire about
how to write a UX Writer job description (hint: you probably won’t find a writer who knows how to code, design visual interfaces, and do your accounting. But you knew that already, right?)
Morgan Marie Quinn translates Pixar’s “11 Rules for Storytelling” into “14 Rules for UX Writing” over

Not long ago, I had to type a number of variations on “UX Writer” (Copywriter, Content Writer, Marketing Copywriter etc) to find jobs in Europe.
Now, every role is a “UX Writer”. It’s nice to see some consolidation happening in the industry.
Mane Contract Services are hiring for a
UX Content Writer in London. You’ll have 2-3 years of experience for this role, working for a “Data Quality” company. Not sure why that’s a proper noun….
Dice are looking for a
UX Copywriter (Contract) in London. The company are looking to “Get People Out More” (again, not sure why this is capitalised, it all sounds like aggressive fun). You’ll need at least 5 years of experience for this one and a passion for live music and culture.
Studio FM are recruiting a
UX Writer in Barry. I can’t tell from the job ad but I really hope this is the same “Barry” as in Gavin and Stacey. Tidy.
Grover are after a
UX Writer in Berlin. You get “free fruit and drinks” with this one, but only if you have two years of experience. The first girl I ever had a crush on was a “Grover”. This piece of information has no relevance to the job ad.
Tourlane are hiring a
UX Writer in Berlin. From what I can tell, they’re a travel agency. Spoken German is a plus but not mandatory.

UX Writer in Rennes. When I was 13 I went on a French exchange with a family in Rennes. I was so nervous I stayed in my room for a week and read all three Lord of the Rings books, in English. Hopefully you have better luck with this posting.
