I'm a content strategist with extensive experience working in the developer space.

 

And I want to show you what I know.

I've spent years crafting content written for, and by developers. For two years, I was the main writer for the Bundler and RubyGems open source projects. I served as editor-in-chief of DigitalOcean and GitHub's company blogs, where I regularly tapped engineers to write eng-focused blog posts. I've edited technical content, including print books (O'Reilly Media and CRC Press), magazines (Recompiler Magazine), and eBooks (Bubblesort Zines). I've written landing page copy to help freelance developers and dev shops get more business. I've secured media placements for developer advocates in publications like DZone and InfoQ, and I've coached developer advocates on content marketing best practices. 

These experiences have taught me the ins and outs of effective content creation for developer audiences. If you've ever wanted to create a blog, or if you've had trouble maintaining momentum and publishing new content regularly, this book is for you. I'll show you how to create a blog (or any other content vehicle) that is relevant to your readers and keeps them interested and engaged.
