@Alibryn she requested my full in late April of 2019 and emailed me recently to say she was reading. I think she's just behind

@Alibryn i know Bridget has talked about having a really hard time reading this year, which is largely why she’s been closed for so long this year. 2020 is just terrible.

Requested my full last January, have had some communication since (a nudge and a newer version), but still no answer on it. I'm not hugely surprised as she replied to my initial query 4 months after receiving, but I'm starting to worry this might be a case of her waiting to see if I get offers from other agents. I have a lot of fulls out right now and I'm paranoid that this is the current trend. :( Still hopeful, but basically trying not to think about it too much.

Query sent under special circumstances. I know she's behind on her backlog, so it'll probably be a while, but fingers crossed anyway!

5/3/2020 - She posted an update on Twitter. She is closing to unsolicited queries on Friday, May 8th. She is making exceptions for writers who submitted to her in 2019 but didn't hear back. They are welcome to re-submit if they are still seeking representation. She offered that she strives to respond to all queries.

EQ: 12/1/2019 Sci Fi - 72K
CNR: 3/31/2020 - The system automatically CNR'd it after 121 days.

According to the timeline, other submissions before and after have gotten responses. Not sure what to think. Maybe it was just that bad...

It looks like she's quite behind on her queries. I don't think it's a great practice to hold onto a query for months because you're "on the fence" and leave writers hanging.
