Where do you find technical writers?

I am looking for a technical writer for my project Mockoon, which is a tool for developers. The idea is to write tutorials and similar content. But I don't know where to look. It would probably require a developer who writes, or a writer who develops, as the content would be quite technical :).
Has any of you ever had to find a similar profile? How did you do it?

    I have found that using technical writers from outside your org often results in lost details. Instead, I recommend a non-writer on your staff that is familiar with the product write the initial draft, then have writer shape the documentation. That will ensure that you get the full story, and it will cost less in the end as well.

      This is also true, I may end up spending a lot of time explaining the details or adding them myself.
      The thing is, I'm the only one in my org 😅
