From UX Writing to Strategic Writing: Future-proofing your Career
The writing landscape has changed significantly. AI tools now handle large volumes of operational copy — first drafts, templated responses, basic content generation. What they cannot do is think strategically: decide what needs to be said, why, to whom, and how it fits into a larger communication system. Writers who understand strategy — who can align voice across touchpoints, build systems, and make deliberate communication decisions — remain essential regardless of what tools exist.
The UX Writing School teaches that kind of writing. Not just the craft, but the thinking behind it. That makes your writing career bullet-proof – even in times of change.
Meet your instructor
Hi, my name is Dr. Katharina Grimm and I teach people about writing in tech! I am a practicing UX Writer and educator based in Germany. I hold a doctorate and have worked across corporate communications and UX, which gives me a valuable perspective that spans both strategic brand communication and in-product writing.
While transitioning from corporate communications into UX Writing, I came across a lot of obstacles: overpriced courses, generic books, and blog posts without substance. Today, I want to help others learn UX Writing without all that.
That's why I built The UX Writing School. With a doctoral degree and years of hands-on industry experience, I brings both academic rigor and real-world practice to every lesson. My teaching draws on principles from cognitive psychology, linguistics, and user research, ensuring you learn not just what to write, but why it works.
