Coming back for a moment, It seems like this agent has a hit or miss record with responses. Some have gotten immediate rejections, some have gotten responses after a few months.
I... Since my initial query I have not heard a thing and it's been 1312 days as of today (July 22, 2021) even after revision and wordcount updates sent out.

Mr. Galen told me in a very kind rejection letter - he loved my title so I will take that - that they are not open to new clients until *maybe* the end of the year. I have no idea how anyone will know what their timeline is since they are not specific on their website, but I would assume at least for the summer, they are not accepting new clients. Hope this helps!

Ugh, all these reports about how they aren't actually open to new clients, despite no such statements on their official website. How are we to know when their status changes? Should we resubmit again then? Are they just deleting everything that comes in for now?

@bckinney, agreed, I am so nervous about querying this agent even though he is my dream agent.

Mr. Galen responded within a day with a very kind and personal thank you note, saying that (at the moment) the agency is not taking new clients.

Mr. Galen replied within an hour of my query's submission with a very kind and customized rejection (I believe it's customized because he references the two clients I mentioned in my letter - also, it seems he doesn't usually respond to queries).

"Thank you for letting me know of your interest in the agency and these two wonderful clients. Alas, we're currently on pause in terms of adding any new clients or manuscripts. Working without access to the office has been a challenge and so we're trying to keep the workload manageable. I am sure you will have no trouble finding any agent for this project."
