It's not hard to set up a content design practice from scratch. I can say this now that I've tried (and failed) about a dozen times.
Here's how I'd do it if I did it again.

Here we go! The video of our latest meetup with @dpieracci is up.
For those who couldn't make it last week or had to leave halfway through: youtube.com/watch?v=Kky0JYpX…
Bad writing is hard to see (quite literally!). A page from The Da Vinci Code looks pretty much the same as a page from The Catcher in the Rye. – Nice point, @dpieracci!

.@dpieracci starting off with a strong analogy: When renovating an apartment, we would not think to redo the whole thing and then expecting the craftsperson to fix it. But as writers, that happens to us all the time. WHY?
Join us this Wednesday for our next UX Writing online meetup!
If you're joining from around the globe, note that we haven't switched to summer-/daylight saving time yet in Switzerland. If you need to convert 6PM CET to your timezone: timeanddate.com/worldclock/c…
Our next online meetup is on 22 March at 6PM CET: meetup.com/ux-writing-and-co…@dpieracci will talk about that frustrating situation when you're the writer, but everybody thinks they could do it better. Involves a bit of ranting, some jokes, and ideas for how to (not) deal with it.

Small but important tip from @1aura1opez for when you’re interviewing: it’s okay to ask for a quick breather if you need one – especially if it's a really long interview day – ask for a quick water break!
Your case study should cover some basics, but there isn't a magic formula. After all, no two projects are alike, says @1aura1opez
