Aevitas Creative Management, founded in 2016, is a full-service literary agency. Since then, it has grown to become home to more than 50 agents in New York, Boston, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Detroit, Nashville, Atlanta, London, Paris, Barcelona, and Bengaluru, representing scores of award-winning authors, performers, thinkers, artists, and public figures, including journalists, novelists, performers, public intellectuals, artists, politicians, chefs, and public figures. Aevitas agents pride themselves on their expertise helping their author clients achieve the highest quality proposals and manuscripts. Many Aevitas agents came to agenting after years of work as book editors, publishers, magazine editors, or published authors themselves.
Books written by Aevitas clients have won major awards and fellowships such as the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, MacArthur Fellowship, PEN/Faulkner, Guggenheim Fellowship, National Book Critics Circle Award, Caldecott Medal, Newbery Medal, Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the Tony, Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Awards.
“Whenever I get a proposal or a manuscript from one of the exceptional agents at Aevitas, it goes to the top of my stack, since I know that the book they’re representing, whatever the topic or category, is going to be worth taking very seriously. They advocate for their authors fiercely and stay involved as true team members with the editor throughout the writing and publication process.”
~ Andrea Schulz, Editor in Chief, Viking Penguin, Penguin Random House
“The quality of Aevitas proposals puts most of their rivals in the shade. Submission material that lands on my desk from Aevitas is dependably well-groomed and—in the case of nonfiction—always presents its case persuasively and clearly. The agent has clearly put in the work, and it shows. I hope Aevitas authors know how lucky they are.”
~ Jonathan Burnham, President + Publisher, Harper Group, HarperCollins
“The hallmarks of an Aevitas submission, for me, are a high bar for quality—of the overall project and of the execution of the proposal itself—and a faith in the follow-through of the agent and their active presence throughout the entire publication journey. I’ve found our collaborations with the Aevitas team to be notably generative. And you sense a collective intelligence—it’s obviously a collaborative team.”
~ Scott Moyers, President and Publisher, Penguin Press, Penguin Random House
