"Thank you for your interest in McBride Literary. Due to the high number of submissions we have received lately, we are currently closed for queries until September 1st. We would certainly encourage you to re-query at that time. Thank you for your understanding, we hope this will allow us to give each query and submission the appropriate amount of time and attention."
So, for all of you thinking of querying, I guess they're closed until Sept 1.
