Ariele Fredman is a literary agent with United Talent Agency (UTA).

Ariele spent 12 years at Atria Books/S&S, most recently as Deputy Director of Publicity and Marketing, working across genres to launch bestselling campaigns for blockbuster authors such as Colleen Hoover, Fredrik Backman, Lisa Jewell, Jennifer Weiner, Rebecca Serle, Zakiya Dalila Harris and Janet Evanovich. She has launched campaigns for more than 50 New York Times best sellers, including eight #1s, and has placed numerous titles as book club picks at prominent outlets including morning shows GMA and Today, Marie Claire, New York Public Library & WNYC, Book of the Month, and more.

She is looking for character-driven fiction that will make her cry, mystery and thriller with bite and a jaw-dropping final sentence; romance with a relatable main character, witty (realistic) dialogue and sense of adventure, and novels with hooks that straddle the line between commercial and literary.
