@moonklutz Good to know I didn't mess it up right from the start! Thanks, moonklutz and good luck to you!

@specuKate I asked her on Twitter just because I was curious and she said it's fine as is - she was just late changing the auto-responder. :) I know she's a very popular agent to query, so the chances are low, but I'm still hopeful!

@moonklutz Since the first one seemed to bounce back entirely, I just resubmitted the original query assuming she never even saw it. Hope that helps.

@specuKate That's great! When you re-sent it did you change up your subject line or anything? I wasn't sure how to handle it.

Update: Submitted again today and it went through! Cross fingers.

So despite our eager anticipation, and the info on the website, she is still closed to queries. I received the following auto-response when I sent today:

I am currently closed to unsolicited submissions and will reopen in mid-September (exact date to come). Your email will still be read and sorted by me, but will not be considered unless:

- it was requested by me (examples: at a conference or during a pitch event);
- you are, or were referred by, someone I know.

Please feel free to query me again when I reopen!
If you are emailing to follow up on a previously sent query, I am still in the process of responding and you will still receive a response.

@specuKate her twitter has said for awhile she's reopening to queries on the 22nd (today) but she did just get back from a conference. I bet it's later today or even tomorrow. The blog post could've been queued.

Update: website says she's open! OTOH - I received an auto-response:

[THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE.]

I am currently closed to unsolicited submissions and will reopen in mid-September (exact date to come). Your email will still be read and sorted by me, but will not be considered unless:

Thank you!

NVM--her twitter confirms she is closed to new submissions.

While the agency website says they are closed to queries, Beth's blog says she is open?
