I'm going through Query Tracker, lining up possible query victims, er, targets, er, prospective agents. I've found that Rachel Kory is listed as an agent with Scovil Galen, and she's mentioned in this thread in several places, but she isn't mentioned as one of the agents on the website and she has her own website (where she indicates she's with SG.) I'm not being paranoid, just curious. Is there some form of legitimate relationship, like "Associate" or "Freelancer" where this happens?
I had the same question.
When I google her name, I get
this site that says she's with SGG. But she's not mentioned on
their site at all from what I can see (there doesn't seem to be a way to get a list of agents working for them, aside from the ones pictured on the front page), and she isn't listed in
preditors and editors. And more confusingly, I got her name on Query Tracker when I was researching agents by helpful feedback percentages (her name came up and they list her as being with this agency), yet when I enter the name of this agency on their agent search feature, her name doesn't come up.
Nor does it if I do a general search by her name (query tracker's general search feature does this to me a lot, however. Gives zero results, yet I find the agent in another spot on their site). She reps an author (Fran Wilde) who has a novel coming out with Tor in 2015, according to Publisher's Marketplace, so she seems to be a real agent who can sell books.
It's rather confusing. I guess if I decide to query her, I'll assume the information on her personal site is accurate.
