5 Books for Content Designers and UX Writers

[@yvonnexiao]

My kind of consistency: one video every 4 months 😅

[@AlienaCai]

Thanks for sharing! I’m actually going to buy and read these. Please keep making great video like this 🙌

[@AlienaCai]

Just saw your tip on checking the book in library first. Will do 😄

[@yvonnexiao]

Hahaha whatever works the best for you! I only own Words that Sell and borrowed the rest from either UW library or the Seattle Public Library. Thank you for watching my video!!

[@angelinebautista1459]

Thank you for sharing! Perfect timing as I was just looking for more books related to content design. I also LOVE that you recommended getting the books from the library! I got myself several library cards this year to be more sustainable, to support libraries, and yes, saving money!

[@yvonnexiao]

Thank you so much for the comment, Angeline. I love my local library 🥰

Thanks for making recommendations so fun! I read "Don't Make Me Think" years ago and thought it was a joy ride too! P.S., I am surprised you don't feel you were bombarded with grammar growing up learning English -- maybe your teachers were making grammar cohesive and fun with language tasks! Grammar was so emphasized by schools in China (sometimes toooo much). As a grammar nerd, I pridefully say that second-language learners sometimes have more grammar knowledge than native speakers. 😭. I'll have fun reading this book you recommend!

[@yvonnexiao]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed the book recommendations. My grammar really struggled when I came to the US so it’s probably because I went to crappy schools in China-literally guessed my way through every English exam 😩

Thank you for this video, it was highly informative! Can I ask what grad school program do you think is best for this field?

[@yvonnexiao]

Hello! Thanks for the comment. I can make a video on this topic. Short answer is that grad school isn’t going to directly land you a job-relevant work experience will.

[@k.a6120]

@@yvonnexiao Thank you so much for that info!! Would you say any kind of writing experience would be helpful as well? It’s kind of hard getting technical writing work but I have many years of other kinds of published writings.
