We're looking for first-time serverless writers! 👩‍💻

Have you been building with serverless, but haven't shared your experience with the world yet? We'd like to encourage you to do just that!

Write a blog post about serverless, post to Twitter with the hashtag #offbynone, and then we'll pick FOUR NEW WRITERS and give away a digital copy of The Developer's Guide to Content Creation by Stephanie Morillo.

We'll also choose several other posts to share in the Off-by-none email newsletter to help amplify your content! Check out the RULES below.

Friend of the newsletter, and serverless extraordinaire, Michael Bahr, has graciously donated 4 copies of Stephanie Morillo's excellent book that helps teach developers how to manage the content process from ideation all the way through to promotion. It's a wonderful resource for any developer looking to document what they're learning, improve their writing skills, teach others, showcase what they know to potential employers, or move into a different role.

Rules & How to Enter
