2. You should be a good writer with very fluent English writing skills. Ideally, you have experience writing about technical topics in English.
3. You should be comfortable learning about brand new topics that you’ve never done before; some of which may be poorly documented or not documented at all.

What is the Tryout Process Like?

1. Author: You’ll be asked to write a short, sample article to test your writing, technical skills and adherence to our guides. Pass that stage, and you’ll then work on a full article to complete the tryout process.
2. Tech Editor: We’ll send you an article to tech edit so we can test your editing, technical skills and adherence to our guides. If you pass the tech editor tryout, you’re in and can be on the team in about a week.

How do I Apply?

To apply, email me (annette@raywenderlich.com). Please include:

1. Preferred role. We recommend only one tryout at a time but you can always apply for another role at a later time so if you have interest in both roles, let me know.
