EQ: 21st July
Nudge: 8th August (18 days) due to guidelines which say that if you have not received a response within two weeks they never received your query.
I then received the auto-response that Stargrave copy-pasted below so I know at least that my emails are reaching her.

Update: I just nudged her for a query I sent a month ago and got this auto-reply:

"Dear QUERYING WRITER: please note that from now until September 15th, while I remain open to queries, I will only be able to respond to queries I am interested in. If I do not get back to you within 7 days, it is a pass. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding."

So I'm thinking this probably counts retroactively as well? It seems like she's switched over to "no response means no," even though the website states that they always reply within two weeks.

Nudge: 8/7/19 (Their website says "If you do not hear from us within two weeks, we did not receive your query. We also encourage you to check with us regularly via email about the progress of your submission.")

Queried 5/1/19
Nudged on 6/5/19. No response.
No response as of 7/9/19. I'm going to take a crazy leap and assume she's not interested.

Originally queried 4/11, resent query 5/15. Nudge 6/3. Pretty close to closing this one with no response, but I'd really like to query someone else at this agency and they specifically say not to until you hear back. Not sure what to do.

Update 6/18. I'm assuming she is not receiving my emails and CNRing this one. Querying Lauren Spieller and hoping not to annoy anyone with a simultaneous query.

I had resent a query a few days ago in case my first query got lost in the spam box, so TBD on all of it

[UPDATE] ER: 5/21/2019 after a nudge this morning. No hard feelings, she wasn't connecting with the voice.
