I don't believe so. For each of their bios on the website it states:
If you’ve submitted to ____, please wait for a response — or a period of six months — before sending to any other agents at Speilburg Literary Agency.
In mid-February, she had a Twitter query pitch contest which I won. She offered a query + 10 pages critique and I sent it promptly.
After two weeks without a response, I sent a quick nudge. She said she'd reply next week.
I reached out again yesterday, which is another two-plus weeks after the last reminder without a response. This morning I got a response, it was thoughtful, excited, and really had some fantastic insights on my query letter which I will be tweaking as a result. Unfortunately, she did not include anything about the sample pages at all. It gave me the impression overall she may be an excellent editorial agent if that is what someone is seeking, but alsomay not be as responsive or organized on the other hand.
