Course instructor at desk

Hi — I'm Aliya Park.

Lead tech writer at Stripe (2018–2024), Vercel (2024–present). I've written the docs you read when you were figuring out something hard. This course is the playbook I wish I'd had when I started.

  • Lead tech writer · Stripe Docs (2018–2024)
  • Currently leading docs at Vercel
  • Speaker · Write the Docs, DevRelCon, RustConf
  • Mentor on the side; this course distills what I usually tell people

Changed how I think about every doc I write. My PRs get half the review comments now.

I came in not knowing what good looked like. Left with a portfolio piece my company actually publishes.

Worth the company stipend three times over. The cohort dynamic is the secret weapon.

Common questions

Do I need to be technical?+

Yes — the course examples are technical (APIs, infra, dev tools). PMs at technical companies do great; pure-marketing folks usually find it advanced.

What if I miss a live session?+

All sessions are recorded and posted within 24h. Most students attend 50–70% of live; the cohort Slack picks up the rest.

Is there a refund?+

90-day satisfaction guarantee — finish the course, do the assignments, and if it didn't move the needle on your writing, full refund.

Can my company pay?+

Yes — every cohort has 30–40% company-funded students. We provide a stipend-justification template + invoicing.
