After four exciting years hosting The Not-Boring Tech Writer—the podcast that gives listeners the skills to break the stereotype that technical writing is a boring career—I’ve passed the podcast along to longtime sponsor
KnowledgeOwl, a knowledge base software company.
This sobers me, admittedly: What began as a medium to connect with colleagues whom I’ve admired since university gradually become a resource for new and seasoned technical writers alike to learn the skills they need to break the stereotype that technical writing a boring career.
Now, as I begin a new career, KnowledgeOwl—who, as you’ll learn in this episode, has a relentless commitment to supporting the technical writing—will ensure the philosophy you’ve impressively fostered through this podcast continues.
In this episode, Chief Executive Owl at KnowledgeOwl Marybeth, joins the podcast to share her vision for the podcast. In addition, upcoming host and KnowledgeOwl employee Jerrard Doran joins to share how he’ll further the philosophy while adding his own unique approach.
Thanks, all, for your support of The Not-Boring Tech Writer—and hope you enjoy this episode.
What is The Not-Boring Tech Writer?
All technical writers have one thing in common: their peers outside of the industry believe technical writing is a boring career. They think we lack creativity; they think we only eat tuna salad for lunch; and they think our work is reserved to instructional manuals that they don't even use.
This podcast gives you the tools to prove them wrong! In each episode we talk to the humans behind the docs, sharing stories, experience and expertise to inspire, entertain, and give you knowledge and skills you can use in your life as a not-boring tech writer.
