Strategic Writing for UX is a popular one. I started out by reading it and would recommend it.
Engagement was used as an alternative for commitment. pick a fight/have an enemy".
It seems violent. But context is key. It simply means: show your superiority.
Engagement was used as an alternative for commitment. I'll probably change it to commitment. Thanks!

I just finished college some months ago, no tangible experience yet. Yes I’ve had about 3 interviews, never passed the initial stage, I’ve been getting messaged from recruiters on LinkedIn as well, I’m quite positive of something good soon.
Hey, hope I'm not too late with this reply.
What I like about the course is that the person who designed it, Kinneret Yifrah, is one of the pioneers of the UX writing and microcopy field.
Before the course, I'd read her book (Microcopy: The Complete Guide https://www.amazon.com/Microcopy-Complete-Guide-Kinneret-Yifrah/dp/B07N1RD7W6) and I was just blown away by how valuable I found it. I've read many Content design books, but I found this one to be pretty solid (alongside Writing Is Designing by Andy Welfle). So, I would suggest you start with the book. As a matter of fact, a lot of the course content derives from the book. But, of course, the course offers a little more - useful links, exercises and really concise presentation of valuable info.
So, I'd suggest that you check out the book first. It really helped spark an interest in me for the field and I ended up applying a lot of the principles in it at my previous job (as a PM) and I recently got my first UX Writer job. So, wish you all the very best. You can DM me if you have any questions.
Some exciting news!

I've worked on several. Legal should absolutely drive the drafting, but you should work with them to make them digestible as possible.
I wrote a piece on my experiences with some tips on improving readability: https://webflow.com/blog/making-legalese-accessible
There's actually a great book about this!
