I represent <a href="https://writerstable.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Writerstable.in</strong></a>, a free resource to learn everything about technical writing. </p> <h2> About me </h2> <p>I have over 20 years of professional experience as a technical writer. I have worked in several industries, geographies, and domains. User guides, troubleshooting guides, and API documentation are a few of the many documentation types I have created. </p> <p>Aside from documentation, I enjoy helping others learn technical writing and bust myths and misunderstandings about it. For example, it is a common misunderstanding that technical writing degrees (technical communication) and technical writing certifications are a must to become a technical writer. Several trainers push courses and certification down aspiring technical writers' throats. This is absolutely a myth. While a certification, course, or even a degree does give you an advantage, it is not a barrier to entry. </p> <h2> About Writerstable.in </h2> <p>Writerstable.in started incubating in my mind due to questions on Reddit and Quora about technical writing. I realized that there were several people eager to learn technical writing. I started answering those questions, and soon I started collecting the most frequently asked questions and built a full post around them. This translated eventually into my article <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/learntechnicalwriting/comments/thtyn1/what_is_a_technical_writing_portfolio_do_you_need/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Technical Writing Career FAQs for Beginners</a>.</p> <p>The more I saw, the more I wrote. I hope to continue writing. I think that technical writing is an amazing career to pursue, especially if you enjoy simplifying complexity. </p> <h2> Why am I here? </h2> <p>This is just an introductory post, I don't intend to toot my own horn using posts. I am here to connect with developers who are curious about product documentation. I work closely with developers in my regular job, and I know how they struggle with creating Readmes, defining error messages, designing alerts, and anything else documentation-related. </p> <p>Ask me anything you'd like to know, and I will do my best to answer. No fluff, only matter. </p> <h2> Learn more about technical writing </h2> <p>I will continue writing about technical writing here so you can read all about it quickly.
