You’re off to a flying start!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
