A UX writer plans and writes the microcopy in apps, websites, and other digital products users need to navigate a product. A user experience (UX) writer creates copy for apps, websites, and other digital products that help users navigate the product.

UX writing (user experience writing) is the practice of crafting all of the customer-facing text or copy that appears within digital products. UX writing helps users understand how to use and interact with software products, including desktop and mobile apps, games, and other “multimodal” experiences including voice interactions (think talking TVs, Google Home devices, or car interfaces). The primary goal of UX writing is to guide users to complete tasks in web products or mobile apps. UX writers are interaction designers for words.
