Unlocking Excellence in Technical Communication: Discover Awesome Resources

As a Senior Technical Writer, I’ve always been passionate about curating resources that help professionals in the technical communication field succeed. That’s why I’m excited to share a project I started in the spring of 2020 and have been maintaining ever since: Awesome Technical Communication.

Awesome Technical Communication is an open-source project hosted on GitHub, designed to provide a curated list of valuable resources on various aspects of technical communication. Whether you’re an experienced technical writer, a budding UX/UI designer, a community manager, a developer who frequently writes documentation, or simply someone interested in the intersection of technology and communication, you’ll find something useful here.

What’s inside

The Awesome Technical Communication project brings together a carefully selected list of resources spanning a wide range of topics. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find:
