Has she really reopened? Says after labor day, but website still lists as closed.

I'm on maternity leave from @UpstartCrowLit for several more weeks. Watch this space for news on when I'm open to queries. Thanks!

I queried her today and also rec'd the auto-reply that she's still on maternity leave. I wish the company website would post accurate information about subbing to her (it implies she's open to submissions now).

She is still closed. I tried to query today and received a form email that said she was closed for her maternity leave.

There seem to be a few queries that fell through the cracks in mid February. I sent mine on 2-19 and haven't heard back either.

After over two months of waiting, finally received an e-mail on Sunday which was just a form letter of rejection. My friend submitted to the same agent and we both received the same letter within two days apart.
