What Our Students Say

“As a result of the (HackerNoon) fellowship I've also had a few commission requests and found that fitting a bit of writing into my day is a great way to change pace from my usual work.

Very happy to have added this new string to my bow, and give me a shout if you want any writing done.”
James Bore

“I was very happy to be given creative free reign on my stories and also given less editorial oversight due to my editorial qualities, which was also incredibly uplifting and encouraging to have for a gaming-intensive fellowship.”
Jeffrey Harris
Jeffrey Harris
Journalist, Video Writer & Creator
“My greatest challenge was in adjusting my writing to fit the new requirements that came from writing for websites. There's a lot of things to consider that I struggled to fully account for when I researched sometimes. Fortunately, Limarc Ambalina gave me plenty of help with learning how to get better at all of that.

I've had many gratifying moments during the Fellowship. Getting to write endlessly about modding and seeing many of those articles succeed was quite a lot of fun.”

“It was a truly worthwhile experience that was disguised as hard work! It gave me confidence in my digital writing skills and helped me learn a bit more about keyword research and SEO.

Thank you for all the wonderful people and mentors at HackerNoon.”

“Seeing my writing skill grow over time was another gratifying moment. Limarc Ambalina, you couldn't have been a better manager/supervisor—great encouragement and constructive criticism that has shaped me as a writer.

Writing for Hacker Noon has been a pleasure, due to the positive vibes and energy of the fellowship and leadership.”
Jack Boreham

Lead Writer & Editor at Resonance
“A struggle for me was reeling in that AP, professional, writing style, and learning how to relax. At the same time, I still wanted to have good, cohesive grammar.

Gratifying moments happened when my articles would do well. It's a toss-up how well one of your articles will do, you can have fantastic keywords and still get below average views. So, when one of my articles had great views, it felt good.”

Choose Your Niche, Own Your Content

Most educational programs claim ownership of student work - universities own research, colleges own projects, and online publications own articles. This isn't that.

At HackerNoon, contributors own their content. You build a portfolio during the fellowship that belongs entirely to you. Republish it on your personal website, share it with potential employers, or use it however your heart pleases.

While you're learning to write and growing your career, you're also building valuable intellectual property that stays with you forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an experienced writer to join? +
Not at all. This course is built for people in tech who want to start writing, even if they've never published before. Many fellows have gone from zero to published authors in just weeks using the same exercises that grew HackerNoon's 4M+ reader base.

At the same time, it's also valuable for seasoned professionals - like cybersecurity experts, software engineers, and even PhDs - who already write but want to boost their blog quality, consistency, and impact.
How long does it take to complete the course? +
Most students complete the 8 modules in 6-8 weeks, but since it's self-paced, you can go faster or slower. You have lifetime access, so there's no rush. Many students start seeing career benefits after publishing just their first few articles.
What if I don't have time to blog regularly? +
The course teaches you how to blog efficiently. Many successful students publish just once or twice a month. It's about consistency and quality, not quantity. Even publishing quarterly can significantly impact your career trajectory.
Will I really get published on HackerNoon? +
Yes! Course graduates have published over 850 articles on HackerNoon. Our editorial team helps ensure your work meets publication standards. Plus, you'll learn the insider secrets that get articles featured and promoted to our 4M+ monthly readers.
How is this different from other writing courses? +
Most writing courses are generic. This is specifically for people in tech, taught by the team that built one of the world's largest tech publications. You're not just learning to write - you're learning to build your career through strategic content creation.
What if I'm not technical enough? +
If you work in tech - whether you're a developer, designer, product manager, or in sales/marketing at a tech company - you have valuable insights to share. The course shows you how to identify and communicate your unique perspective, regardless of your technical depth.
I cannot afford the course. Do you offer financial aid? +
Yes! Students with verified status qualify for our discounted rate. The easiest proofs are a school-issued email address or a valid student ID card, but we’ll also accept an enrollment/acceptance letter, transcript, tuition receipt, or an ISIC (International Student Identity Card).

You’ll go through a separate flow, pay $149 upfront (50% off), and once we confirm your status, you’ll receive an access code to unlock the course.

Not a student? You can still apply for financial aid. You’ll go through this form to submit as a non-student, and you’ll need to be more thorough in your responses — explain why you deserve support, how the course will help your career or personal growth, and why the discounted rate is necessary for you to participate.
What's the refund policy? +
You can request a full refund within 7 days of purchase if you decide the program isn't for you. To be eligible, please submit your refund request within this period via this form.

Please note that participants who receive a refund will not be eligible for a course certificate and will lose access to the private community. Refunds are not available after the 7-day period has passed.
Can this really help my career? +
Our students regularly report promotions, job offers, speaking opportunities, and consulting contracts that came directly from their published articles. In tech, demonstrating your thinking through writing is one of the fastest ways to stand out and advance your career.
How much better off am I if I blog every week? +
Weekly bloggers in our community often see more career opportunities, faster promotions, and greater recognition in their field. You become the person others think of first for partnerships, speaking engagements, and leadership roles. It's compound growth - each post builds on the last.
What if I become known as the expert in my field? +
That's exactly what happens! Our most successful students become the go-to voices in their niches. They get invited to conferences, consulted on major decisions, and often become the face of their companies' thought leadership. Your expertise stops being a secret and starts being your career advantage.
