Across the Techverse #3

Your one-stop resource to the technical writing world.

Hello, world!

Welcome to the third issue of Across the Techverse, your one-stop resource to stay updated with the coolest tech writers in Substack and beyond.

NOTE: By a dumb mistake on our side, an unfinished version of this newsletter was sent yesterday. We’re deeply sorry for littering your inbox. Won’t happen again, pinky swear! 🤞

We are pleased to introduce the third batch of recommended tech substacks and blogs and the best content from our community. But before, a summary of the Tech Writers Stack last week.

On Tuesday, we kicked off the week with an interview to

Tivadar Danka

from

The Palindrome

. Tivadar shares his origin story and explains why he chooses technical writing as his major professional focus.

And on Thursday, we published our first guest post with

Stephen Gruppetta

on the different flavors of narrative technical writing. Stephen shares his insights on adding a narrative twist to technical articles to make them more enjoyable.

Are you a tech writer? Do you want to belong to a community of like-minded writers, find inspiration and help for your writing, and collaborate with others? Leave us a comment to get yourself included.

One final thing before you go! We are still a small community looking to grow and become a relevant resource in tech writing. As part of that mission, we plan to host the Tech Writing Community Awards, where our readers and writers nominate and vote for their favorite creators. We’re still figuring this out, so if you have any ideas or comments, we’d love to hear them!

And don’t forget to tell anyone interested in technology and science to join us.
