Nate Muscato
Nate Muscato represents academics, journalists, artists, and polymathic thinkers and storytellers. Authors he works with have written for national and international media, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and received awards and fellowships from the Whiting Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Ford Foundation.
Prior to joining Aevitas, Nate worked at Farrar, Straus & Giroux and Sterling Lord Literistic in New York, taught high school students in Milan, and worked as a bookseller in New England. He graduated from Vassar College with a BA in English and Italian.
Nate is drawn to nonfiction that illuminates the past and present—from arts and pop culture to education, politics, sociology, and technology—and envisions more just and equitable futures. He is also interested in select genre fiction with literary trappings, sci-fi/fantasy stories that leap into new worlds yet reveal something radical about our own.
