Show HN: Who Pays Technical Writers (Beta)

Here is the plan I would pursue in your shoes:

1. Take inspiration from some of the cool projects you have listed in your profile, especially your work with slang, and think about what aspects of your implementation of these projects people might find interesting.

2. Based on the content of your proposed articles, take it to a publisher who is interested in those topics (right now, I'm talking about 2,000 word articles, not technical books). Try to get published with 2 or 3 sites that have a decent reputation.

3. Pitch full-length book ideas to editors at technical publishers. Use your publication history from step 2 to prove that you can create technical content.

This is going to sound promotional, because it is, but I published a book about this topic 2 weeks ago and that will answer your question in hundreds of pages more detail than I can in this comment box. https://philipkiely.com/wfsd

I was definitely concerned about this before posting because some of these sites are places that I have written for, so I'm only increasing my own competition. However, this information is all already publicly available and easy to find, so I figure there is no harm in aggregating it.

Many of these sites are major publications racking up millions of page views per month. I doubt they will be affected by a small bump in traffic from my project.
