Keavy Lynch (she/her) is a Toronto-based TV writer of quirky dramas with a sense of humour, comedies with heart, and whatever pays the bills.
Born to immigrant parents (from Grenada & Ireland) who were really hoping for a lawyer, Keavy's ethnic identity is best described as "whatever Meghan & Harry's kids are".
Keavy has worked as a writer on shows like Pretty Hard Cases (CBC/NBCU), Revenge of the Black Best Friend (CBC Gem), Bria Mack Gets a Life (Crave), and the unproduced second season of CBC/BET+'s Emmy-nominated historical drama series, The Porter. She’s had series in development with ICF Films, Circle Blue, Shaftesbury Films, Project 10, Blue Ant Media, Fae Pictures, and Attraction, and her work has been passed on by every major Canadian network.
Keavy is a Consulting Producer on the upcoming season 2 of Streams Flow from a River (Super Channel), and received the 2025 Rogers-BSO Fund for her original series pilot, York. She's currently developing a short film with Black Lives Matter Toronto founder Sandy Hudson, based on an incredible Toronto history icon.
A prodigal theatre kid, Keavy balances writing with her practice as a theatre director and dramaturg. She was the founder and artistic director of Empty Box Theatre Company from 2010-2016. This fall, she will be developing a new play at the Stratford Festival Playwrights Retreat.
Keavy is an advocate for underrepresented creatives through her writing and work with groups like BIPOC TV & Film and OYA Media. In 2021 she helped organize a mentorship program for emerging Black screenwriters that helped at least three writers get hired in their first rooms, and recently helped to produce Anthony Q. Farrell’s Showrunner Bootcamp Podcast.
Keavy has been a WGC Forum delegate since 2022, and serves on the guild’s Professional Development and IDEA committees.
When she's not writing, Keavy's hobbies include board games, political organizing, cemetery wandering, and dismantling the patriarchy.
PS: Keavy is not a former Irish pop star, though she can see why you'd think that.
