Heather Carr (Agent)
THE REGISTRATION LINK FOR HEATHER CARR WILL ACTIVATE WHEN MANUSCRIPT MART REGISTRATION OPENS FOR GRUBSTREET MEMBERS ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, AT 1:00 PM EST.
Heather Carr is an agent at The Friedrich Agency where she represents award-winning and bestselling fiction and nonfiction for adults. She’s seeking literary fiction and high-concept commercial fiction, including that which dabbles in the surreal and suspenseful. She particularly enjoys when genre elements are used to explore the places where language fails us. In nonfiction she’s looking for intersectional, voice-driven narrative projects and her areas of interest include science, nature, social justice, and culture.
