Saw 2 days after I queried her that she's no longer looking for YA. Darn. Marking CNR for my records

Apparently, she's closed to queries until January 4th. Wish she had listed that somewhere before I sent her a query.

She included some feedback and seems very kind and professional. Super bummer :(

So I just queried her and she's open from what I can see. On the IGLA website it doesn't say anything about her being closed. I thought I'd try based on the Sept 8th comment below, and the auto-email I got back said this:

"Thank you for thinking of me with your query! I know this process is a grueling one and I thank you for your efforts to connect with me. Due to the volume of queries I receive, I only respond to those queries I am interested in reading further, and if I am interested in requesting the work you should hear from me within 8-10 weeks, if not sooner. Otherwise rest assured that this is a subjective business, so if your work and I do not connect others may certainly feel differently, and I urge you to continue submitting elsewhere.

I got an email response when I sent a query this morning that said, "Hello!
I am currently closed to queries until September 8th. I welcome you to resubmit after that date.
Be well,
Barbara
