Marin Takikawa

Marin Takikawa is an associate agent and the audio rights coordinator at The Friedrich Agency. Born in Tokyo and raised in Singapore and NYC, she joined TFA in early 2021 after getting her start as an assistant to three agents at Foundry Literary + Media, following internships at multiple agencies. She's looking for subversive, genre-bending literary/upmarket fiction (including but not limited to speculative concepts, family sagas, anything that plays with myth and folklore), intersectional narrative nonfiction, and voice-driven and literary-leaning YA. Her clients include National Endowment for the Arts, Tin House, Asian American Writers' Workshop, We Need Diverse Books, Center for Fiction/Susan Kamil Emerging Writer, and New York Foundation for the Arts fellows.
