Wolfangel4788, there is a place on QueryManager where you can leave the agent a message. There are three options: nudge with offer, withdraw submission, and a general message (probably separated for priority). I left a general message to nudge and she was fairly prompt in replying.

How do you give an agent a nudge after doing an online form?

11/6, a rejection on the full. Her email was very kind and said what she liked about the manuscript but didn’t have the vision to find it a publisher. Disappointing, as she seems a lovely person to work with.
Full request on 10/7 (!!!) after a nudge on 10/5

Form Q - 9/12/20
Rejection (personalized) - 10/27/20

Subbed to Katherine after she made a pass on the last secret agent contest on Miss Snark's First Victim blog. Rejection was super kind, stated she remembered my submission, loved the changes, but ultimately didn't connect strongly enough. I'll take it as a win.

@noldorian she has answered almost everyone above and below my query. I'm assuming she is still deciding on mine? (hopefully). If you look at her query stats to the right of this page, where it tells the age of your query, it looks like she takes a lot longer to say yes than she does to say no. On my end I see 17 days to reject and 37 days to accept. Agency says response times is around 8 weeks, but I'd double that to 16 weeks due to covid-19 before I'd equal a non-response to a rejection. My 2 cents!
ADDING: 2 hours after this note, she sent my rejection form! Maybe they keep track of the notes we post on their profiles or just a coincidence. I'm always happy one way or another to get closure on a query.
