In such a complex and fast-moving industry as tech writing, it can be interesting to see how burgeoning tech writers get started - and become successful. 

Enter Philip Kiely, author of Writing for Software Developers and owner of PK&C, the world's smallest conglomerate. He graduated from Grinnell College in May 2020 with a degree in computer science, and has only gone onwards and upwards from there!

This week I speak to Philip about being a new(-ish) entrant to the tech writing game, becoming a first-time author of a successful book, adventures during his time studying abroad in Budapest, Hungary, and how he managed to infiltrate a hackathon in Iowa during a blizzard!
