The Frederick Hill Bonnie Nadell Literary Agency was founded in 1979 in San Francisco.  The agency represents literary and commercial fiction, narrative non-fiction, current affairs, memoirs, popular culture, and young adult fiction.  Now based in Los Angeles, the agency works with a network of co-agents to represent translation rights in foreign territories, as well as film and television rights.

In the summer of 2011, Rebecca Friedman joined the Hill Nadell Agency from Sterling Lord Literistic. She represents literary and commercial novels, narrative non-fiction, memoirs, and young adult and middle-grade fiction.
