Patrick - I just received a rejection saying she had a full client list - so maybe she opened her form in error?

True TeeKayEm, but she also just opened her QueryManager form.

As of writing this, her twitter (@askamycollins), her website, and the Talcott Notch Literary website all say she's still closed (except to referrals and conference/event requests).

Profile Update: Open to queries. Genres updated.

Form queried 3/17.
Got an email 6/23 letting me know was passing because her client base was already too full. It was a very kind rejection letter and I'm glad that it didn't come specifically because she wasn't interested...but it was a bit disappointing to have waited over a hundred days for response like this one. Ah well, on to the next.

"Thank you so much for sending this query. I appreciate all the time you took to fill out the form. I am so sorry it took me so long to respond!
I have recently had to hold off taking on any new clients until I can successfully handle the workload of my existing client base. So I am afraid I have to pass at this point. I apologize for the response. I hate that I have to decline queries based on workload.
I appreciate how hard querying is and I wish you the best of luck with your future efforts."

6/22/2021 - Sent a nice email rejection. She said she had too much of a workload & couldn't take on another project right now. It was helpful to know that it wasn't about my project or my work. She sounds like a nice person. I would recommend trying this agent when she opens to queries again.

Although I had CNR'd her, I did finally receive an email today saying that she has to decline queries now because her workload with her existing clients is too demanding.
