The only other agent at this agency has an AI generated headshot. I recommend you search Isabelle Rader to see the comments on that agent's page. I do not trust this agency, given the other issues brought up here and the fact that the other agent is clearly not real. Maybe Miriam Kriss made a second agent up in an attempt to lend Codex credibility? Not sure. Regardless, this agency is one of my few DNQ.

Edit: I looked up the address on the agency page and it seems to be a Staples??

I knew she was picky about her subs but...doesn't seem like she's taken anything on in nearly a year. Thoughts?

@AugustoV: So... if you look at this exact page, you'll see she opened to queries on 6/2/26, her last reply was 5/28/26, but almost never replies or requests (not particularly unusual). Where are you getting 2021 from?
