CNR: 2022-10-02 (Yeah, given that her response time is 2 weeks, I left it open for quite awhile. But I'm just getting around to doing some housekeeping)
LGBTQ Memoir, 75k words.
Queried via form 7/12/22.
Partial request 7/13/22.
She read it last night and sent me the kindest and most personalized rejection I’ve yet received. Loved the writing and story but was concerned about the market for memoir, ultimately just a business decision.
No response after 10 weeks
However, in looking back at her timeline, it looks like she hasn't taken on a single new client in the past fifteen years. At least among Query Tracker users. Does anyone have any more information about her?
CNR: 1/30/22
Upmarket fiction, 92K
The confirmation page says if she doesn't respond within 2 weeks, consider it a pass. I didn't receive an automated confirmation that the form submission went through.
83K memoir
Her on-line form is CRAZY. You get two paragraphs for your 'pitch' and two paragraphs for your bio, but she places a word count limit...a severe one. I must have edited mine 5 times to work. Have fun. I'm learning how to become an advertising exec.

Thank you for your query.
We give every query we receive careful consideration.
Due to the number of queries we receive, however, we can only respond to submissions that we are interested in pursuing. If you do not hear from us within two weeks, please assume that your project is not a good fit for our list.
In this case, please do seek out other opinions. The Literary Marketplace is a good resource for finding other agents who may be of service.
Thank you so much for thinking of us.
Women's fiction 8/5/21
PR: same day
ER: a week or so later, not literary enough
family saga, 91k
Based on other's comments, she's quick if she thinks she might like something, and equally quick to decline. ;)
