Hello there, fellow developers, content architects, and aspiring technical writers. I represent Writerstable.in, a free resource to learn everything about technical writing.
About me
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.
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.
About Writerstable.in
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 Technical Writing Career FAQs for Beginners.
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.
Why am I here?
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.
Ask me anything you'd like to know, and I will do my best to answer. No fluff, only matter.
