I tweeted Holly asking if the new agency has a "No Response Means No" policy, or if they reply to all queries. She replied saying: "Thus far we're replying to all & have an autoresponder giving timeline too."

Haven't received a reply yet. At the time the autoresponder listed the reply time to be 4 weeks. I think it would be okay to requery?

Since they appear to be a close knit team, I also addressed the query to both of them.
