John Biggs

Journalist and Author

John Biggs is a journalist, author, and technology writer based in Brooklyn, NY. His work has appeared in the New York Times, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, Men's Health, and Laptop, among other national publications. He also runs the BWL family of blogs, which includes Knapsack News and WristWatchReview.com.

Before writing full time, John worked as a computer programmer, cook, eyeglass grinder, and waiter. That range of experience shows up in his writing — he covers topics he knows from the inside, including travel, trains, technology, and mysteries.

Areas of expertise

John writes about entrepreneurship, technology, and the creative economy. His articles for Bizee focus on practical topics for business owners — from using tech to build a business to turning ideas into companies. He's also authored books spanning young adult fiction, historical fiction, and entrepreneurship.

He speaks publicly on technology, startups, and creativity — specifically on how to stay creative without burning out. That perspective carries into his writing: direct, grounded in real experience, and focused on what actually works.
