A quick reassessment in light of subsequent comments: She skipped over almost everyone who submitted between 01/16 and 03/01. If you sent a query in January or February 2025 and haven't heard anything, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting.

@Find_the_Fabulist, appreciate the update. I queried her 234 days ago but kept the query up thinking she would get to me soon... I queried in January, and if she's responding to April now and I haven't received a response, that's as good a sign as any to CNR and just let this one go.

FYI, she claims to respond to everyone but is also extremely backed up - only just starting on April queries. At the moment, you're looking at a minimum of a 6-8 month turnaround (unless you're one of the people she arbitrarily responds to in a week, of course).
Don't anticipate a reply in 2025. This one smells like one of those cases where I'm going to get a form rejection long past the point where I'd given up on this project.
