Cat Girczyc

Cat writes female-led stories and scripts, usually in science fiction or fantasy, but she also dabbles in romcoms.

Winner of the WIFTV 2020 award for the pitch for Lights, Camera, Paranormal Action (LCPA), she developed this into a feature and a pilot for a series (TV one-hour). She's a Writer's Guild of Canada member and has sold 15 television episodes, including two episodes of the hour-long dark fantasy "The Collector" and animated series such as the cult superhero cartoon "Cybersix." She's also written legal drama, cartoons, docudrama, and radio drama.

Her prose writing recently garnered a Finalist position in the Writers of the Future (WOTF) competition 2022 Quarter 1. She also has two Canadian national awards, the Auroras, for SFF work. Since about 2015, she's been actively writing and submitting SFF poems and short stories. Her work has been published in small, primarily Canadian SF markets like Polar Borealis, Neo-Opsis, The Vancouver Sci-Fi Magazine, and Tesseracts. Previous notable items include the WOTF Finalist 2022, 10 WOTF HMs, and 2 Silver HMs between 2015 and 2022.
