Most writers rightly put a lot of emphasis on creating good copy, but often don’t think about it after the project goes live. And who can blame us? It seems once we finish a project, five more are starting. So what’s a writer to do?
In this talk, Yossi Nachemi will go over techniques you can include in your process to track and evaluate your copy. Knowing how to evaluate your copy will help your customers, your product, and give you tools to demonstrate the power of UX writing.
