Hello!
I’m getting ready to hire a copy editor and cover designer for my book, so I’ll add a shameless self-promotion here to try to help cover some of those self-publishing costs: My next live documentation class will be on Sundays in September. If you know anyone who wants to start or improve their process documentation and has a company education budget, please share this information with them. Thank you!
I will also be visiting my mom soon, for the rest of the month, so there may not be a newsletter published for a week or two during that time.
If you have helpful human content, events, or other resources you think could help the readers here, consider sponsoring this newsletter!
