I queried her in July 2015 with a YA historical fantasy, got a full request in September 2015, and am still waiting. I nudged earlier this week and got a reply apologizing for the delay, so I hope she's working on catching up while she's closed to queries.

moonwatch, thanks for the encouragement. I may do so. Good luck, hope you hear soon!

alibryn,

I'd say go for it. She's a wonderful agent at a fabulous agency and my guess is that she'd be okay with a quick check-in after 9 months. If it eases your mind, then that's all to the good. There's a huge difference between checking in at 9 months and checking in at 9 days. She'll probably respond with an 'It's still under consideration' email and that's okay too. :) Best wishes to you!

Irey_West and moonwatch178, she requested my full on November 3, 2015, and I sent it the same day. I haven't heard back from her either, though I certainly will post if/when I do. Am considering nudging her despite historical evidence that it may take a year (or more!) to hear from her, but not sure...

@Irey_West

I don't think she's stopped responding to submissions. My guess is that she is significantly backlogged. I sent my original sub in November 2015 and then sent a revised version in April after Ms. Hawk was kind enough to let me send along a newer version. I haven't heard back yet, but I figure I've been bumped down the queue. And from what I can see on the TimeLine it looks like there have been a couple instances where someone got an offer of rep and was jumped to the head of the line and there's a sub (other than mine) still waiting from november/december.

Hang tight and hopefully you hear back soon.

Does anybody know if she's stopped responding to submissions? I sent in a full in January and haven't heard anything since, not even from my nudge letters. I realize she's closed to queries but the email that I use isn't her query email - so it shouldn't be sorted out right?

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

This agent is closed as of May 24.
This is the auto reply I received:

Automatic Reply: Currently Closed to Submissions

Hello,

Thank you for contacting me! I am currently closed to queries and unsolicited submissions until further notice.

During this period, all emails I receive will be sorted and deleted by an actual human being. If your query falls into one of these categories, I will consider it:

• You’re sending a requested query, partial or full manuscript.
• You’ve been referred by a client or someone I know.
• We’ve met at a conference and I requested your work.
• Your query is something I requested from a Twitter or blog pitch contest.

All other queries, however, will be automatically deleted until I reopen to general submissions. I’ll be happy to see your query then, but if you would rather not wait, do query one of my other colleagues at the Bent Agency: http://thebentagency.com/submission.php.

She liked a tweet of mine in #KidPit (end of March), so I queried her. She replied in 44 days, asking for a full. She replied to my submission with an encouraging note. Fingers crossed!
