Queried Ms Cohen here:
http://www.pearlcoliteraryagency.com/.
Second, I queried today, and within ten minutes, she answered: "I do wish you the best of luck with your writing, but since my mother is very ill, I cannot take on new clients at the moment. Thank you for your understanding, Susan Cohen."
Sending her family as much strength as possible right now.
Small update: there appears to be two Susan Cohen agents, both reputable and real. I'm gonna leave this here for people who are looking.

Answering a nudge (11/03/20) from query of 03/19/20:
"I am so sorry, but my lack of response is indicative that I am a one person business, and my parents are aging and very sick right now, so I cannot take on any new clients. I wish you the best of luck with your writing. Thank you for the query, Susie Cohen"

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.

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.
