Exploring Technical Writing
Overview
I began paid technical writing in March 2021 and earned over $10,000 from 25+ articles. Between December 2021 and May 2023, I wrote another 25+ articles and served as a Developer Relations Engineer.
I have collaborated with six startups spanning from the UK to the USA. Sharing articles on platforms like Medium and my blog has greatly boosted my path as a technical writer.
Throughout my experiences, I have seen firsthand how powerful technical writing can be – for both the writer and the audience. In this book, I want to share everything I have learned. We dive into how I got started, found well-paying gigs, established the rates, and leveraged social media.
If you are curious about technical writing, this book is for you! I aim to help you with the knowledge to land your first technical writing gig. Let's write this new journey together!
