Sarah Levitt

Sarah Levitt represents critically acclaimed, award-winning, and NYT bestselling nonfiction and select fiction writers (including two MacArthur "Geniuses" and counting). Her list includes journalists, academics, historians, scientists, and musicians, among others.

Based in New York, Sarah graduated summa cum laude as a University Honors Scholar and Founders’ Day Award recipient from New York University, with a BA in Classics and English literature. Prior to joining Aevitas, she was an agent at The Zoë Pagnamenta Agency, where she also handled contracts and foreign rights.

As a deep generalist, Sarah’s always on the lookout for narrative nonfiction in the realms of science, history, big ideas, reportage, and smart culture writing with a sense of play.

She’s also drawn to what she likes to call "memoir plus" (not quite memoir, but not quite straight nonfiction either) and voice-driven literary fiction with bold plots and fresh, imaginative characters.

She’s excited by strong female and underrepresented voices, the strange and speculative, folklore, and projects that ignite cultural conversation.
