Friedrich Agency Has Busy Week
-- Publishers Weekly, 12/23/2008 7:51:00 AM
Who says publishing is dead right before the holidays? Things were certainly busy at The Friedrich Agency, which closed six deals between December 15 and 19. Among the deals were two nonfiction titles about America,
The Rhinestone Sisterhood, by David Valdes Greenwood, which Paul Cirone sold at auction to Rachel Klayman at Crown, and a compendium of U.S. history anecdotes by Michael Morris; Cirone also sold the Morris, to Charles Conrad at Broadway. Molly Friedrich herself sold three books: the debut mystery
Shooter, by Nora McFarland, went in a three book deal to Trish Lande Grader at Touchstone Fireside; another debut,
Naked Love, by Laurie Frankel, went to Lindsay Sagnette at St. Martin's Press; and, at auction, Noelle Hancock's
My Year With Eleanor, which was picked up by Ginny Smith at Ecco Press. Rounding out the week, Friedrich negotiated for the next two books in Spencer Quinn's mystery series, which is slated to debut in February 2009, and which went again to Peter Borland at Atria.
