gostei muito no inicio, mas depois do capítulo de ferramentas não me acrescentou tanto. amei os exemplos tho!

I got nothing out of this book. Perhaps that was due to the clunky, awkward writing style, frequent grammatical errors and misused words and idioms. This alone makes me suspicious of someone whose job it is to communicate. There goes trust.
To make it worse, there was a notable absence of citations to back up sweeping assertions (none of which I especially disagree with, but still.) I find it useful to know why a pattern language evolved — again, it’s that trust thing.
Overall there is really not much in this book for me that I couldn’t get from our internal style guides, design system and common-sense facility with the English language.

This book was given by my boyfriend. It's really helpful to understand the strategy of the whole UX Copy Experience. The author did a really good job of giving examples, and I love the consistency of the book. Would definitely read it back!

As a new and developing UX writer, this book is quickly becoming my holy text for breaking into the field and working on projects. What a resource! Smart, straightforward, and immensely helpful. Highly recommend for folks doing UX writing or content design of any kind.

By far the best book for my day to day work as a UX writer at Microsoft. It helps that the author has experience working for Microsoft. However, she brings a broad perspective beyond more than one role at Microsoft.
What I love most about this book is that the author provides relevant examples across industries. It's short enough to read the whole book. It's comprehensive enough to provide guidance for a large set of people in this emerging field.
Highly recommended to anyone in a technical field who writes a lot. Even if you don't work as a UX writer, you may have the chance to provide input. Or, you may want to learn about this role that is a very interesting part of the software design process.
