Hi, my name is John Witiw and I am a writer from the United States who's worked with a number of outlets over the years. I've been with Bright Side since 2018 and have worn all sorts of hats.

My career started sharing stories about people coming together and helping each other and I always seem to drift back to that. I also love covering films, books, and TV shows. I've done everything from newspaper interviews to writing scripts for children's videos.

What I love writing about:

• Life Stories: One of my first jobs as a writer was human interest pieces and I love sharing stories of people coming together and helping each other.
• Media: I am known for covering a lot of movies, shows, and books throughout my career and have even been the occasional critic, though I'm usually hardest on the stories I like. Even if I am not the biggest fan of a story, the world sometimes needs a little fantasy.
• Longform Stories: When it comes to writing, I usually like a big story, especially when it comes to collecting all sorts of sources. You can be surprised how immense a simple story can be. Ironically, in my everyday life, I usually don't say much.

My credentials:

I am a graduate of Rutgers University and have been working as a writer ever since. I've covered all sorts of stories throughout my career, from viral media trends to current events. I once even got to teach an online class because a school liked an article I wrote.
