Scott Mendel is Managing Partner of Mendel Media Group. The official submissions page says the agency is taking on new clients and that most new clients are experienced professional authors, including journalists and academics with a history of publication, or author-experts with serious credentials and established media access. In most cases, a new client should have a polished book proposal or manuscript already in hand.
