The Friedrich Agency has four agents: Molly Friedrich, Lucy Carson, Heather Carr, and Marin Takikawa. If you decide to submit your query to us, please email your query letter and 5 (five) sample pages to only one of our agents, with the word QUERY and the title of your project in the subject line.
We do not open attachments (unless we’ve requested a manuscript!), so please include all materials in the body of the email.
If you aren’t sure who would be the best fit, visit our About page or check out one of the many interviews we’ve each given to online outlets.
We regret that due to the volume of submissions we receive, we can no longer respond directly to each submission. It is now our policy to respond to your query only if we are interested in seeing more material.
If time allowed, we would far prefer to treat each submission as a chance for individual feedback, but it simply isn’t possible. We have great respect and gratitude for the broad range of talented authors who come to us via query letter— and many of our clients have launched writing careers from taking this first daunting step! Don’t panic; do the best you can, and we’ll do the best we can.
If you have any lingering questions before you submit, hop over to our FAQ page where they might already be answered!
