BLAKE FRIEDMANN: Literary, TV and Film Agency
Welcome to the Blake Friedmann website.
We are a literary, film and TV agency representing a broad range of fiction and non-fiction writers, screenwriters for television and film, and a small number of playwrights, directors and producers.
The agency was created in 1982, although the two founders - Carole Blake and Julian Friedmann - started their original agencies in the 1970s. Our philosophy has always been that we represent writers rather than one-off projects, planning long-term to build a client's career in as many markets and across as many media as possible. We work closely with our clients through the respective editorial, contractual, and marketing processes that lead to publication, or broadcast or cinema release. We are proud of our record of happy, enduring partnerships between the agency and its clients, and of our dynamic team of long-serving staff. We hope this website will give you an idea of the work we do here, and why we love it.
