This is covered here, I believe:

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/

Specifically:

"Technical writers are technical writers worldwide who’re accepted to
take part in this year’s Season of Docs. Applicants should be able to
demonstrate prior technical writing experience by submitting role
descriptions and work samples. See the technical writer guide and
responsibilities."

This program isn't intended, as I understand the above to say, as a
starter for technical writers.  I recommend you ask Google directly
regarding your interest in the program.

Thanks,

Stephen
