Not here much anymore. I wrote @designerswrite. I publish @uxwritingevents. Chaotic neurotic queer.

Ran a little experiment with free consulting hours in March and April after getting laid off. All told I had 20 conversations with people at all stages of their personal and organizational journeys in content strategy, UX writing, and product. People wanted to talk about:
• defining content success in the public sector • implementing content strategy standards and processes in a large-scale agency • finding stability when priorities change by the day • fitting content strategy into a web project when design templates have already been approved
• working with subject matter experts to get the best information for what we need • being the first UX writer at a company and hitting the ground running • communicating your agency's niche and expertise more clearly
• being the only writer juggling the needs of multiple product teams • aligning website positioning behind clear mission and value statements • writing for conversion inside of a lengthy acquisition funnel (and balancing sales vs. usability)
• managing team handoffs between UX writers (e.g. during a leave of absence) • adapting marketing and editorial experience to a UX writing role • building content strategy from scratch inside a fast-moving organization
• demonstrating progress with major content initiatives to internal audiences • breaking a huge list of content strategy needs into manageable chunks of work • demonstrating the impact and value of writing (and getting more resources!)
• must-haves before creating a content strategy framework • better ways for design and product teams to collaborate with UX writers • understanding where UX writing and content design is headed and adapting for it
• presenting UX writing to leadership training UX writing teams • content strategy and UX writing in international contexts ... as well as career paths, portfolios, and navigating the complexities of content job titles.
I didn't always have the answer. But I felt like I was always able to offer some guidance, or at least encouragement, and a specific next step. If this kind of support sounds valuable to you or your team, I'd love to help. Going forward, I have two options:
1) Free, reservable open office hours. Right now, I'm holding 3x slots open on Tuesday mornings. I expect/hope to primarily use these slots to help folks with personal topics in their career or job hunt.
2) Paid one-hour consultations. You can book and pay for them directly through my site, no SoW required. I'll spend an hour beforehand reviewing anything you want me to look over so we can get a lot done in a little bit of time.
There's a bit more about each option on this page. Take a look if you're interested, or pass it along to someone who might be. Cheers, and thanks.https://kubie.co/consultation
