Catherine Clinch

Writer/Producer Catherine Clinch spent the early part of her career writing for hit television series including HUNTER, JAKE & THE FATMAN, KNIGHT RIDER, LOVE BOAT, HART TO HART, FOUL PLAY, TRUE CONFESSIONS and RESCUE BOTS. She studied screenwriting with Sampson Raphaelson at Columbia University and honed her craft working for historic television luminaries including Aaron Spelling, Fred Silverman, Stephen J. Cannell, Alan Landsburg, Peter Roth and Kevin Reilly – all of whom hired her more than once. After being “aged-out” of the industry shortly after her 37th birthday, she pivoted into publishing and spent 12 of the first 13 years of the print version of Creative Screenwriting Magazine moving up from Contributing Editor to Associate Publisher, and co-coordinator of the first 5 years of Screenwriting Expo. In that capacity, she covered as many as 30-70 conferences and panels each year. It didn’t take her long to realize that she needed to move out of the screenwriting silo, so she expanded into all areas of media including marketing, technology, and mobile entertainment. That experience led to her invention of a mobile platform for which she was awarded three (full utility) US Patents. KLIKZIT provides original entertainment content that enables seamless integration of brand message into a unique and proprietary format that is professionally written, produced, and performed. Along the way, Catherine put on her academic hat and immersed herself in the study of social media strategy – specifically, why some pieces of content go viral while others don’t. She created and teaches a professional certificate program in Social Media Strategy & Content Marketing at California State University Dominguez Hills. Her recent scripted ventures include writing Stan Lee’s S.T.E.A.M. Squad for POW! Entertainment and the pilot for a one hour dramedy series about two young, widowed moms raising their families together in a post-Covid world. Catherine is happily married with three grown-ish sons.
