Stephanie Frewell-Hill, Agent - Red Fox Literary

Stephanie Fretwell-Hill started her publishing career in 2004 at Walker Books Ltd. in London, where she sold foreign language rights. In 2011, she moved back home to Atlanta, where she spent four years at Peachtree Publishers as an editor. During her time there, her acquisitions received such honors as YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults, Bank Street Best Children’s Books of the Year, Parents’ Choice Awards, and starred reviews from major trade magazines. Stephanie joined Red Fox Literary in 2016. She represents authors and illustrators of literary fiction and narrative nonfiction picture books and middle grade. Her clients include New York Times bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio, Caldecott Honoree Drew Beckmeyer, Paddington Bear illustrator R. W. Alley, Jen Arena, Carolyn Crimi, Donna Gephart, Rita Lorraine Hubbard, and Anne Lambelet. The books she represents have won numerous awards, including Newbery Honor, Caldecott Honor, Sibert Honor, the Jane Addams Book Award, the Youth Book Prize for Social Justice, YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction, and many starred reviews. Stephanie’s tastes are eclectic, but across all genres she looks for compelling, diverse voices and strong hooks combined with literary merit and classroom value. Most of all, she loves stories and art with the perfect mix of humor and heart. Stephanie lives in Asheville, NC with her polymath husband, two feisty girls, and one perfect border collie. When she isn’t working, she can often be found hiking, sewing, playing the ukulele, or hanging out at the playground.
