Agent

The Jennifer Hollyer Agency


Combining her life-long love of narrative, her honours BA in literature and classics, and being a natural people person, Jennifer is living her dream job as owner and principal agent of the Jennifer Hollyer Agency. Many of Jennifer’s clients have been with her since she established the agency in 1991, and are considered to be the best in the business. Jennifer has helped myriad scribes go after their artistic vision and establish themselves as showrunners on their own series. Her love of tv includes everything from kids animation to dark cable dramas, taking pride in working with writers in all these genres. Her feature clients have seen their projects premiere at major festivals including TIFF, VIFF, and Sundance. Always one to encourage emerging talent, Jennifer devotes her time mentoring new screenwriters across the country through the Canadian Film Centre and the Writers Guild of Canada as well as several other national programs.
A big city native who runs with Labradors, and loves to ride the range, Jennifer is inspired by the writers she represents. She is enthusiastic about the future and looks forward to exciting new challenges including adopting a lab pup and maybe a Quarter Horse.

Speaking on: Face To Face Meeting Exchange

At the Banff Media Festival, we met with Netflix and took a ride up Sulphur Mountain on the gondola. That’s where we made the pitch.
