Marin Takikawa
The Friedrich Agency
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.

How to successfully present your work
Please email your query letter and five sample pages (in the body of your email), with the word QUERY and the title of your project in the subject line to mtakikawa@friedrichagency.com. Unfortunately, The Friedrich Agency is no longer able to respond to all queries individually given the volume we receive, so if you haven’t heard back within three weeks it means we’re declining the opportunity to request materials. More information on our submission process can be found at friedrichagency.com/submit.
