Here's the agentquery listing.The front page of the agency website says they aren't taking on new clients at this time:

Update! JRB is no longer taking on new clients. We’ll continue to enthusiastically represent our current clients, and we’re also embarking on a new venture: the creation of unusually useful software products for writers. If you would like to be notified when our new product website is up (tentatively called “Jody Rein Interactive”), please send a note to: [email addy redacted], with WRITERSOFTWARE in the subject line. Thank you so much for visiting JRB.

Here's where the new venture's going to be: http://bookproposalpro.com/

Hi CP, I went to this part of the page http://bookproposalpro.com/signup/
It looks like Ms.Rein is providing proposal editing services for the purpose of making the "package" attractive to the publishers. The only problem is that I don't really any push to marketing the finish proposal. I assume somehow Ms. Rein will tie this into her agenting process.

No change at her website and BookProposalPro is still Coming Soon.

Her PM page: http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/jodyreinbooks/

Sale to NAL in Oct '10, so I won't write her off quite yet.

A couple more sales in '11. BookProposalPro still coming soon. Looks like she's started another venture here: http://authorplanet.org/.

ETA: PM page and BPPro are gone. A couple new books for existing clients, but most activity is to shill her book and Author Planet services.
