> That's classic Mythical Man-Month thinking. I see why you said that, but I don't think that's the case here. The tech writers don't necessarily need to collaborate with the developers as the software is being developed. E.g., the tech writers might be able to look at new APIs, the source for for their implementations, and any in-house code that uses / tests those APIs. And then write documentation based on what they find. If they're able to talk to the developers during or after the API is released, all the better. Disclaimer: I'm not a tech writer. I'm just speculating on how this could be made to work.
