Support our community with these print books
Our community shares their perspectives in three new print books, available now.
We started our open community at Technically We Write in 2023. Since then, we’ve published a variety of your articles, sharing your tips, how-tos, and best practices about the industry. We would not be here without you.
In December, we collected the most popular articles from the last few years into free ebooks. This was our way to say "thank you" to the community, and to recognize everyone for their contributions. We shared the ebooks with you at the end of the year, with a note that the print editions were coming soon.
We are proud to announce these print books are now available, via our publishing partner at Lulu. The books are available under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license, the same as all of our content on the website, because these are your contributions. We hope you like them!
