Hi Dryad,
There's nothing coming up for her on Publishers Marketplace. I'm interested in querying her, too, so any other info on her would be helpful.

Any updates on Rebecca Podos? I was thinking of querying her as well, but now I'm wondering if I should have more info about her sales history first...I know the Rees Agency does a lot of business, so maybe I'm just being paranoid?
She's on my long list to query, MadameApeFace, but I haven't yet because of that very reason. As far as I can tell, she hasn't sold anything yet, and I'm prioritizing those agents who have.
But the agency itself has had a large number of sales to good places. If you query and you get to the point where she offers representation, then you can ask about her sales and her plan of attack for your book.

I posted an interview with Rebecca Podos and one of her newest clients, Mackenzi Lee:

It includes a query that Ms. Podos ultimately offered on as well as some information on her response times and such, so if you're thinking about querying her, you might find it useful.

Congratulations Becca!!!
Congratulations!
(That makes us sort of distant agent cousins, as your agent is represented, as an author, by my agent.)

Not sure when the name changed, but the agency seems to be just Rees Literary Agency now. I couldn't find it under R, and I was like, "how is it possible that I've encountered an agency not listed on AW????"

Name changed in '10, 'parently.
Helen Rees passed away in '15. Agency continues under her son, Lorin.
