Spending any time with Joey is well worth it! He has the pulse of the industry and shares this vital information with all his writers. He is one of the most passionate advocates I've ever met and anyone is lucky to be in the same room as Joey Tuccio!
~ Gail Joy Stewart, Screenwriter
I can't say enough good things about Joey. He stuck with me during the hardest times in our industry and worked tirelessly to help me find a rep. Thanks to him, I am now repped by a great agent! Joey's kindness and diligence is amazing. I am so grateful for his continued support. He is a real gem on our industry!
~ Wei-Ling Chang, Screenwriter
“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
