1:1 Technical Writing Consultation with Praise James

Get personalized guidance on your technical writing, career, or content

Book a one-hour 1:1 technical writing consultation with me to work through the questions, challenges, or decisions you are currently facing as a technical writer.

You can come with a draft you cannot quite get right, questions about breaking into technical writing, challenges writing for highly technical audiences, concerns about your portfolio and positioning, or a desire to become a stronger storyteller.

The hour is yours.

Rather than giving you generic writing advice, we will focus on your specific situation, identify what is holding you back, and work out practical next steps you can take after the call.

What We Can Work On

Depending on what you need, our session can cover:

• Breaking into technical writing: Where to start, what skills to build, what to write about, and how to build experience when you are new.
• Improving your technical writing: How to make your content clearer, stronger, easier to follow, and more useful to technical readers.
• Technical storytelling: How to use storytelling principles without making technical content feel forced, dramatic, or less technical.
• Draft reviews: Bring an article, tutorial, documentation piece, portfolio sample, or unfinished draft and we can diagnose what needs work.
• Writing for technical audiences: How to research unfamiliar topics and write for developers, engineers, AI practitioners, or other readers who may know more about the subject than you do.
• Portfolio and positioning: How to present your work, communicate what you are good at, and position yourself for the type of technical writing opportunities you want.
• Finding technical writing opportunities: We can discuss building visibility, approaching opportunities, and making yourself easier for the right clients or employers to find.
• Your writing process: Research, outlining, structure, storytelling, editing, or wherever your current process keeps breaking down.

You do not have to fit neatly into one of these categories. If it relates to technical writing, technical content, or storytelling, bring it.

Who This Session Is For

This consultation is for aspiring and experienced technical writers who want personalized guidance rather than another generic list of writing tips.

You might be:

• A beginner trying to figure out how to become a technical writer and build your first portfolio.
• A technical writer who has been working for a while but feels stuck at the same level.
• A developer, DevRel professional, or technical professional who wants to become better at explaining technical concepts.
• A writer moving into AI, machine learning, developer tools, SaaS, or another technical niche.
• Or a writer who simply wants another experienced technical writer to look at their work and tell them what could be better.

Why Book a Session With Me?

I am Praise James, an AI and machine learning technical writer and storyteller. I have spent years writing technical content for developer and AI audiences, working across tutorials, technical explainers, product-led content, and thought leadership for technology brands.

I also write Tech & Storytelling, where I break down the frameworks, research methods, storytelling principles, and writing lessons I have developed through that work.

My approach combines technical accuracy with storytelling, audience research, structure, and clarity. During our session, I will apply that experience directly to your work and your situation.

You will not leave with vague advice to “write more” or “build your personal brand.” We will identify what you should work on next and how to approach it.

How the 1:1 Consultation Works

You book your session and receive a link to choose a suitable time.

Before the call, come prepared with at least one specific question, challenge, goal, or piece of writing you want us to discuss. You can bring several questions, but having a clear starting point helps us use the hour well.

We meet for 60 minutes via Google Meet.

During the session, we focus entirely on your questions and work.

By the end, you should have a clearer understanding of your problem, what needs to change, and the next steps you can take.
