For some reason, there are only a relatively small number of people who are interested in both technology and language. If you are one of them, technical writing can be a great profession, or means of generating a side income.

This repository is a collection of technical writing resources. Pull requests to add more resources are highly encouraged.

Technical Writing Resources is a list of books and other resources to help you become a better technical writer

Publishing Resources provides information on where you can publish your technical posts, and who will pay you for them.

Communities is a list of communities focused on technical writing.

Retrospectives is a list of makers and solopreneurs who write retrospectives on their businesses and progress. Although not directly technical writing, these people tend to be interested in both writing and building technical projects, and offer good examples of technical writing in their other posts too.

I have been writing technical articles on a freelance basis for a number of years. I'm always surprised that while there are thousands of posts and resources out there relating to helping you become a better (programmer|founder|data scientist|anything else) there is very little about technical writing, and many people don't even know that technical writing is a thing that exists and that pays.

This is my little attempt to fill that gap. I plan to extend it in future with information about publishing companies and writing tools.
