What we do
Red Kite Literary was founded by Enrichetta Frezzato in 2026. Born with children’s writers and illustrators at its core, the agency represents picture books, middle-grade and YA, and some specific adult fiction. Please check submissions guidelines for more details.
Why Red Kite
‘Red Kite’ can have two meanings, each beautiful and wild. A toy kite flying in the wind, a long string behind it pulling a child along to invisible currents up in the air. A prodigious bird of prey with a phoenix-like story. Hunted to near extinction over a century ago, red kites have come back to soar the British skies, in particular those of Oxfordshire. Both inspire thoughts of freedom, regeneration, imagination, hope. Both could tell incredible stories. Putting storytelling at its heart and with a special, although not exclusive, focus on children’s literature, Red Kite Literary aims to discover and support writers and artists whose voices are unique and original, to help them create stories and have them heard. To help them soar.
Originally from Italy, Enrichetta moved to the UK to complete a DPhil in Modern Languages at Oxford University. Before starting Red Kite Literary, she spent ten years at Curtis Brown, working both in translation rights and as primary agent. During her time there she worked closely with bestselling authors like Jojo Moyes, Douglas Stuart, David Mitchell, Andy Griffiths and literary estates like Dr Seuss and E.B. White, among others. At the same time she started building her own list representing UK-based and international writers and illustrators across adult and children’s.
