Who should attend

Is this workshop for you?

🌱
Aspiring technical writers
You want to break into the field but don't have a portfolio. This session gives you one — live, by the end of the day.
💼
Freelancers seeking more work
You write but struggle to find clients. You'll learn exactly where developers post doc needs and how to pitch them.
⚡
Working writers who want to automate
You already write docs but spend too much time on repetitive tasks. The automation module alone is worth attending.
