Hello, my name is Hassan Osman and I started the Writer on the Side blog to share tips about how full-time employees can write their first book.
I write short books for busy managers (my main focus) and short travel guides for busy parents (as a hobby to document my family trips).
So far, I have published ten books in three different genres while balancing a demanding full-time job, and I’m working on writing my next one now.
My primary focus is on publishing nonfiction books on Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), but I cover other self-publishing platforms such as Gumroad as well.
I share techniques that help you figure out what to write about, how to save time, and how to market your book.
If you’d like to tag along, subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, or Stitcher. If you’re new to podcasts, you can learn more by clicking here.
You can also grab my free book on Gumroad.
A little about me
I’m currently a Director at Cisco Systems (views are my own), where I lead program management teams on delivering technology projects to our clients.
Previously, I was a management consultant at Ernst & Young (now EY), where I helped Fortune 500 customers with their business strategies.
I’m the author of several Amazon bestselling books about team management, a few books about traveling in Europe with kids, and an Amazon bestselling book about how I wrote all those books while working a full-time job.
I also run a blog at The Couch Manager about working remotely.
You can find more about all my books by clicking here.
