Queried on 12/10/21—as of 1/15/22, still no response, but her Twitter did claim that she just closed to queries to catch up, so maybe I'll hear something soon.

@roswordsman I’m not sure if this helps, but she mentioned on Twitter that she’s closing to queries right away because she needs to catch up on her inbox. It wouldn’t hurt to politely nudge! Best of luck!

sent query on 10/28 after a request from a twitter pitch event in october. Still no response. I haven't seen anything that says she only follows up if interested; is her response time generally this long? debating following up or just assuming uninterested.

Profile Update: Genres updated.

Thanks c_rush. That was definitely a mistake on my end. It was supposed to be 'women's fiction, not 'western'.

Hey, Patrick! I think this one might need a genre update. Her profile on her agency's website specifically says "no westerns" and this genre is not available as a choice from the dropdown menu in her query submission form.
