Note: I had CNRed this because as you can see, it took over a month -- so don't be too quick to CNR.

UPDATE: Katherine Patterson's website lists her agent as Allison Cohen at The Gersh Agency.

... and Patrick, just to make it a bit more confusing I looked at the client list for PealCo, most are children's authors. And Katherine Paterson is listed as one.

gmwilson, yes, looks like two agents with the same name. The other agent (the one at PearlCo) sometimes goes by Susie Cohen. Probably to help with the confusion. I'm checking now to see if Susie Cohen qualifies for listing on QT.

Patrick:
I was wondering about the status of Susan Cohen at Writer's House as well after I came across this: http://www.pearlcoliteraryagency.com/. Could there be two literary agents with the same name? The later doesn't mention children's lit in her bio.

LIMAMA1956, she is still listed on the Writers House website and has been answering queries. Also, Publishers Marketplace reports sales she's made as part of Writers House as recently as July of 2018. Where do you see that she started her own agency, and what is it called?

You do realize that Susan Cohen is no longer at Writers House? She's no longer listed at their website. She set up her own shop in 2015.
