Meredith Hambrock

Meredith Hambrock has worked on over 125 episodes of TV comedy as a story editor, writer, and story coordinator. In 2019, her pilot script won the WeScreenplay Comedy Writing contest and placed her in the top 4% on Coverfly’s “The Red List”. She’s had four plays produced, including CLIMB, a collaboration with aerial circus artist Esther DeMonteflores.

Additionally, she writes short fiction and was a finalist for the CBC Short Story Prize, The House of Anansi/Broken Social Scene Short Fiction Competition, and has been published in several prominent literary journals and magazines.

In 2019, she received a grant from the Canada Council to write a short story collection, titled “Woof!” She currently writes for Corner Gas Animated.

Her first novel Other People’s Secrets generated positive reviews here and abroad. And is currently in talks to adapt the work into a TV series. Meredith is currently finishing her second novel She’s A Lamb; it also is getting interest for an adaptation.

Meredith is on the 2026 Stephen Leacock medal for Humour shortlist for her novel She’s A Lamb!, about Jessamyn St. Germain, an actor convinced that she’s destined to be a big star. While others might see her dreams as delusional, She’s a Lamb! follows Jessamyn’s relentless quest — revealing the oppressive weight of patriarchy and the depths she will sink to for a chance to make her dreams a reality.
