We talked to Sue about: How she honed her UX writing skills What working in a team of writers and other collaborators looks like in the wild The different ways we each like to get and give feedback (very different opinions here!) What constitutes as constructive vs destructive feedback Why it's just as much about mindset as it is about process How you can adopt super strategies to give better feedback And how to do it well even when you're remote Here are the things we mentioned in the podcast: Books: - Bossypants by Tina Fey. - Hey Ladies! by Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss Podcasts: StartUp podcast by Gimlet Media (https://gimletmedia.com/shows/startup) UX writing at Booking.com (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/booking-people-podcast/e/64364687) Resources: https://jacobmcmillen.com/website-copywriting/
