🎙️ Just published a new episode of The Not-Boring Tech Writer: Writing docs as an open source developer with Florian Lefebvre. Have a listen:

In S3:E30, Kate Mueller and motion graphics designer Bill Holland discuss collaborating with visual creators. 5 things to have ready: 1. A detailed project brief 2. A mood board 3. A movement reference playlist 4. Specific feedback (e.g. don't say "make it pop more") 5. Patience with rough drafts

Dark navy slide with large white serif text reading "Working with visual & motion designers." Gold italic subtitle: "5 things to prep before you bring in a designer." A thin gold horizontal rule separates the subtitle from the guest credit "Bill Holland, Season 3, Episode 30." The Not-Boring Tech Writer logo appears at the bottom.

Advocating for yourself as a tech writer can be tough, especially when you're trying to make the leap from support to full-time documentation. In S3:E28, Kelton Noyes shares how he made that transition, + strategies for choosing the right tools and building buy-in for docs across your organization.

Quote graphic with photo of Kelton Noyes. Text reads: "When advocating for yourself as a technical writer: Sell yourself as the person making documentation, not just that documentation matters." Below states Kelton shares how he made the transition from support to full-time tech writer in Season 3, Episode 28. The Not-Boring Tech Writer logo appears at bottom.
