My First Guest Post -- And Best Writing Tip
I wrote a guest post at Poewar.com titled "The Intersection of the Personal and Professional, or, Why My Attempts at Nonfiction Essays in Grad School Bombed." I described one of most significant things I learned at my nonfiction writing program at Columbia (and in life, actually).
I encourage you to check it out, not only because there's a contest for the guest post that brings in the most traffic, but because I honestly believe it's the single most important technique writers and bloggers need to implement to engage their audience.

About Tom Johnson
I'm an API technical writer based in the Seattle area. On this blog, I write about topics related to technical writing and communication — such as software documentation, API documentation, AI, information architecture, content strategy, writing processes, agent skills, tech comm careers, and more. Check out my AI courses for more on the latest in AI and tech comm. If you're looking for info about documenting APIs, see my API documentation course.
If you're a technical writer and want to keep on top of the latest trends in tech comm, be sure to subscribe to email updates below. You can also learn more about me or contact me.
Finally, I want to note a couple of things. I usually write the first drafts of my posts myself and then use AI to improve accuracy, clarity, and detail in places, so my writing is a mix of human and AI. (Hopefully that's not too off-putting.) Also, the opinions I express on my blog are my own perspectives, not those of my employer.
