Haven't heard back by 11/16/16. Read on Knight Agency website they have trouble with hotmail addresses (which I used). Resent query from another email address 11/16/16.
CNR 1/3/17
PR 1/5/17 - After marking this CNR I got an email from Nephele, apologizing that my query had been misfiled, and that she would love to read more! Requested a synopsis and first 100 pages. My first partial request!
Haven't heard back re: partial ms on 3/17/17, so I sent a f/u email asking if she would be interested in the full ms. Sent another f/u 6/5/17.
8/11 - Got a nice rejection, and thanked me for my patience.
Nudge: 08/23/17 *just checked the site and realized that they specify you can nudge if you don't get a reply for requested materials

Sent to Nephele, but I'd bet the house she never read it.
Rejected by Kristy Hunter (Submissions Coordinator and Associate Agent)
My advice would be to treat Kristy Hunter as the gatekeeper with the full expectation that if SHE isn't looking for the genre of your manuscript that she'll pass on it before anyone else at the agency sees it.
ER: 3/4 (about 20 mins later)
