What is Write the Docs?

Write the Docs is a global community of people who care about documentation. We consider everyone who cares about communication, documentation, and their users to be a member of our community. This can be programmers, tech writers, developer advocates, customer support, marketers, and anyone else who wants people to have great experiences with software.

Since starting in Portland, Oregon in 2013, we’ve run conferences around the world. Meet the team that keeps everything going.
