Their client base spans stage and screen across a wide range of work, and they publish no statement of what they are looking for, so nothing here is their own statement of appetite.

How to approach

There is no route in for a writer at the moment. Their contact page carries three submission routes, and the one that covers writers, headed Literary, says they are not currently accepting any unsolicited literary submissions.

Read the other two carefully before assuming they help. The Talent route asks for a Spotlight pin and a headshot, and the Creative Talent route asks for a CV and links to work: those are for actors and for directors, composers and choreographers. Neither is a screenplay route, and using one to slip a script through is the kind of approach an agency this old notices.

What makes this worth a second look is the wording. Not currently is not the same as never, and their literary list covers writers for film, television, stage and radio rather than books alone, so if it reopens it reopens to screenwriters too.

The PreList verdict

Who this is for: nobody approaching cold this month, and possibly a great many writers later. The closure is phrased as temporary, and we re-check this entry every three weeks because of it.

Who should skip it: anyone hoping the actor or creative routes count as a side door. They do not, and the literary line is unambiguous.

Holloway Literary

Agency · United States

Closed to unsolicited work

Their pages now agree. The submissions page says no agent or manager is accepting submissions, and the screenwriters page says the screen agent is closed too. The logline-only route on that page is the one that would reopen first, so this stays on a short re-check.

A US agency representing a small number of screenwriters. Their own pages disagree about whether the door is open.
