Stephanie is originally from France and graduated from Sorbonne University in Paris with a BA in Comparative Literature, focusing on the poetics of translation. While studying there, she worked for fashion magazines with the belief that she would pursue a career in journalism. After arriving in NYC in the late 1990s, however, an internship at the Macmillan Publishers division Farrar, Straus and Giroux convinced her to focus on her passion for literature.<\/p>\n

Stephanie since developed a dual career as a Foreign Rights Director and a (Domestic) Literary Agent, first at The Joy Harris Literary Agency and then at Foundry Literary + Media, before finally joining Massie & McQuilkin Literary Agents in 2015 where she is currently focusing solely on building her list of authors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-927573","agent","type-agent","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nStephanie Abou, Literary Agent \u2013 All You Need To Know | Jericho Writers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/our-services\/agentmatch\/literary-agent\/stephanie-abou\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Stephanie Abou – Jericho Writers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Stephanie is originally from France and graduated from Sorbonne University in Paris with a BA in Comparative Literature, focusing on the poetics of translation.
