Currently Looking For
Marin joined The Friedrich Agency in early 2021 after getting her start as an assistant to three agents at Foundry Literary + Media. Born in Tokyo and raised in Singapore and NYC, she graduated from the University of Rochester, and began her publishing career with internships at The Book Group, Folio Literary Management, and Triada U.S. She’s actively building her list and is interested in literary fiction, narrative non-fiction, and YA fiction. Regardless of category, she’s looking for a singular voice that will guide her through any literary terrain and is not afraid of pushing against the status quo. And above all, it’s important to her that her list is filled with writers from historically underrepresented communities, as well as diasporic voices. She’s looking for: Not a must, but a plus: Some of her favorite (non-agency) authors include: Mohsin Hamid, Philip Pullman, Sequoia Nagamatsu, Angeline Boulley. She would love to consider any manuscripts in a similar vein.
