Watch out for Birch Literary:

This thread is a bit confusing to me and while I don't necessarily think All the things in this thread are always red flags, I will say that Birch Literary seems like they're not super equipped to make good deals just based on their experience and sales history. Almost all of their sales are to small presses that are digital only or don't even require an agent to submit, so they don't seem to offer any access that an author couldn't get on their own. I wouldn't personally query them.
Here's an additional thread from Absolute Write that talks a bit more about solid reasons they might not be best to query.
