About me
Marin Takikawa is an agent and foreign rights director at the Friedrich Agency. Born in Tokyo and raised in Singapore and NYC, she joined TFA in early 2021 and now has the immense privilege of selling international rights for both debuts and seasoned authors including Alison Espach, Ruth Ozeki, and the Estate of Frank McCourt, in addition to representing her own list. She’s looking for bold, voicey, genre-bending literary/upmarket fiction and YA. Regardless of category, she looks for singular, irreverent voices unafraid of pushing against the status quo, with a particular interest in writers from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities, as well as diasporic voices.
