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.

4/1/2020 - Thank you tremendousotter!

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.

"You deserve an unequivocally enthusiastic agent as your advocate." Very sweet way of giving a rejection, even if it is a form. Onward and upward!

She surprised me with a rejection this week after 210 days. She said she'd been holding it for a second look. I had long ago marked it CNR.
