Beginner Tips
If you have question you would like help with, you can subscribe to the Technical Writing Mentors mailing list to submit your question. This list is new but will eventually include a lot of professionals, academics, other others willing to give advice and guidance about the technical communication profession. You can subscribe to the group by adding your email address in the box below and clicking Subscribe.
The most common questions I receive on this blog are how people to break into technical writing, especially if you're a student or are transitioning from another career. See information about pursuing technical communication as a career, see the Beginner Tips category.

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.
